Your Roles Carry Significant Responsibilities, Keyamo Tells Newly-inducted Aviation CEOs

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, on Thursday told the newly appointed heads of parastatals and directors of the ministry that their roles carry significant responsibilities, hence the need for commitment and their expertise in contributing to the growth and success of the sector.Keyamo, in his keynote address at the in-house inauguration and induction for the newly-appointed executive officers and directors in Abuja, urged them to prioritise transparency, efficiency, and collaboration to ensure effective public service delivery.He urged them to remember the significant responsibilities their position carries.”I trust that your commitment and expertise will contribute to the growth and success of our parastatals. Together, let us strive for excellence, innovation and service to our nation,” he said.According to him, in a decisive move to elevate the standard of Nigeria’s aviation sector and bolster consumer protection, President Bola Tinubu approved significant leadership changes in the six parastatals under the ministry.The reshuffling, announced on December 13, Keyamo noted, reflects the president’s commitment to enhancing the wellbeing of the passengers and all stakeholders in the aviation industry in Nigeria.”Therefore, this event is aimed at bringing together the strategic management staff of the ministry and the new chief executives to get to know each other and work towards the mandate, vision and mission of the ministry,” he stressed.Speaking further, he said that the agencies are burdened with the responsibility of giving meaning to public policies and programmes for the wellbeing of the people and the achievement of the objectives and goals of government.Keyamo added that to actualise the five-point agenda for the growth of the Nigerian aviation value chain, the aviation ministry was looking forward to a new phase of partnership and collaboration.This, he said, the government will do by leveraging on the immense opportunities in the sector to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and joint-venture partnerships with heads of international economic organisations, presidents of Atransnational corporations and principals of leading privately-owned enterprises.”As you embark on this role, remember that success is a collective effort. Foster collaboration, embrace change, and lead with vision. Your commitment to excellence will shape the future of our ministry,” he noted.
