"It was a great privilege to be chosen from
amongst the 160million Nigerians to serve in the
Federal cabinet. My profound gratitude goes to
Mr President who gave me this rare privilege. I
also want to thank for him all the support he
accorded me to pursue his transformation
agenda in the Aviation sector. I equally wish to
thank my aides, aviation sector workers and
stake holders who partnered with me to realize
our vision & mission in the sector. During my
tenure, we gave our best to institute reforms in
line with Mr President's Transformation Agenda.
We produced the Aviation sector Master-plan
and implementation Road map. Using the
Masterplan and Roadmap, we were ably to...
-Reconstruct and Remodel all 22 federally-owned
airports across the country. We also commenced the
construction of Five International terminals in Lagos,
Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Kano.
-We also introduced the Perishable Cargo and
Aerotrolis concepts to drive the growth and
development of not only the aviation sector but also
the country while modalities have been completed to
kick-start the Aeropolis project.
-We also carried out institutional reforms, built the
capacity of NCAT to produce enough professionals for
both the local aviation market and for export.
-My greatest accomplishment comes from the safety
and security of the Nigerian Airspace. We were able
to procure,update and install safety-critical
infrastructure that has repositioned the sector to
achieve our objective of zero-accident rate in the
Nigerian Airspace" she said.
