Despite the calls on the contrary over the relocation of Federal Airport Authority (FAAN) ,the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Fedtus Kayamo has vowed that Nothing would stop the relocation to Lagos.
There have been controversies following the announcement of the said relocation to Lagos.
Keyamo had on Wednesday when he appeared on Channels TV programme, Politics Today reinstated the stand of the Federal Government on the relocation adding that no amount of distraction would stop the noble idea.
Recall that Senator Ali Ndume from Borno South as well as chieftains of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Northern Elders Forum, NEF, and many other Northern groups had kicked against the plan.

According to Keyamo ,the whole issue was compounded with the fact that FAAN is not yet digitalised and so, in one year, they spend half a billion naira on a flight ticket between Lagos and Abuja alone.
You see them flying every day to and fro Abuja to get one file signed. They fly every day, back and forth. In one year, they spent close to half a billion naira on flight tickets. N450 million on flight tickets alone,” he said.
It would be recalled that the Governor of Imo State,Senator Hope Uzodinma and a former Senate committee Chairman on Aviation has supported the relocation of FAAN to Lagos given the expensive nature that surrounds its continued stay in Abuja.
