The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has inducted 201 new Aviation security cadets after undergoing eight weeks STP 123 Course training programme.
The STP 123 Course is a residential training programme with a duration of eight weeks designed to help integrate new Cadets into the Civil Aviation Industry to implement, monitor and enforce Aviation Security measures proactively in accordance with locally approved regulations.
Speaking at the event, managing director of FAAN, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku said FAAN is poised to respond to the 21st century challenges of airport and passenger management.
Spokesperson of the FRSC, Faithful Hope-Ivbaze said the FAAN boss also informed the cadets that the training was one of the steps being taken by the agency to ensure total safety at the airports.
She said, “This ceremony not only marks a significant milestone in your careers but also in the journey of FAAN towards bolstering the nation’s aviation security.
It is also one of our strategic responses to the increase in volume of passengers using our airports.”
Kuku charged them to put to good use all they have learnt during the training program, urging them to embody the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
She emphasised that globally, aviation business is hinged on security and safety, the aviation security department is, therefore, very critical to passenger facilitation and airport operations.
She also used the opportunity to express her appreciation, and indeed that of the entire management and staff of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to the president and commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu, as well as the minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo for their support and encouragement.
