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).
