The long-awaited cleansing in the country’s aviation sector may have finally started as information filtered into the sector, on Saturday that the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Transport, has downgraded over 40 General Managers and deputy general managers at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).

The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has recently complained about the huge number of general managers in FAAN, declaring that he could not work with such a huge size.

Following the decision to downgrade some top personnel at FAAN, a particular staff member formerly placed on level 17 was demoted to level 10 and redeployed to another department in the same organization.
