The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ATOM Training Services, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for human capital development.
The agreement marks a major step forward in enhancing the capacity and competence of FAAN personnel, particularly in safety-critical operations.
The initiative, which began earlier this year, followed a series of strategic engagements and planning sessions between the two organisations.
The FAAN delegation was led by FAAN’s director of Human Resources and Administration, Dr. Luqman Emiola Olatunbosun while the general & accountable manager, Abdulla Almemari, represented his institute.
LEADERSHIP reports that during the visit, the FAAN team toured the ATOM facility and engaged in detailed discussions with ATOM’s management team, culminating in the successful signing of the MoU.
The partnership also reflects FAAN’s proactive investment in capacity building and aviation excellence.
FAAN’s workforce will benefit from globally benchmarked training that supports the Authority’s commitment to safe, secure, and efficient airport operations.
Speaking, the managing director of FAAN, Olubunmi Kuku, underscored the importance of capacity building, saying, the authority would prioritise the enhancement of institutional and human capacity.
“Every institution is only as powerful as the human resources managing it. Therefore, we will prioritise the enhancement of institutional and human capacity.
Working with national and international bodies, we will promote Nigeria’s image and strengthen the network of FAAN.”
