The Managing Director of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr Rabiu Yadudu, has been sacked by the federal government.
He has been replaced with Mr Kabir Mohammed, who is expected to resume office in the coming days, according to reports.
It was gathered that Yadudu was asked to leave office last Friday alongside five other directors of FAAN. The reason for their removal could not be immediately confirmed.
The new chief executive of the agency was, before his latest appointment, the Regional General Manager for North Central and Airport Manager of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
He was appointed as the Chairman of the Aviation Roadmap Implementation Committee in January 2022 by the Minister of Aviation, Mr Hadi Sirika.
