Stakeholders Set To Brainstorm On Aviation Issues In Abuja

In a bid to interact with the stakeholders in the aviation industry, the minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika is set to host the 10th aviation stakeholders forum in Abuja.

This stakeholders’ forum, is an interactive session conceived to bring together all relevant industry players to brainstorm on the policies and programmes that have and will continue to move the nation’s aviation industry forward and set it as one of the best in the global aviation community.

Special assistant to the minister on public affairs, Dr James Odaudu, in a statement, said “the idea of the regular meetings has been to ensure that all industry stakeholders are carried along, and make inputs in the development and implementation of programmes and policies for the success of the industry.

“The forum will assist the Federal Ministry of Aviation and all its agencies to have direct contact with the very important stakeholders in and outside the industry, articulate ideas on the way forward and brainstorm on the developments within the sector as a whole.

“The forum is also expected to afford the stakeholders another opportunity to ventilate their opinions on the journey so far and ensure that policies and programmes implemented in the aviation industry mirror the expectations of Nigerians and truly lead to the socioeconomic and national development of the nation.”

Odaudu said the minister noted that the forum will also seek to provide answers to pertinent questions, provide sensitisation and clarifications on policies and programmes, provide awareness on activities of government and non-governmental organisations in the industry.

“The forum which is expected to be declared open by the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo will bring together all relevant industry players within and outside the industry namely; The ministers of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Labour and Employment, Health, Agriculture, Transportation and Environment,” Odaudu stated.
