The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, FCIArb, has asserted his commitment to accountability during an inspection of the hybrid payment system at the Abuja Airport tollgate.
Speaking on Friday, Minister Keyamo said,
“Before Mr. President sacks me, I will sack other people too. Because before now, I left the implementation fully to FAAN. The nitty-gritty was worked out by FAAN, but as minister, I take full responsibility. I will not leave my fate in the hands of another person. That’s why I am here today to see how they’re implementing the hybrid system. But this will not last because it breeds corruption.”
The minister emphasized that the hybrid system, which combines manual and digital processes, is not sustainable and called for strict measures to ensure transparency and efficiency in airport operations.
Keyamo’s visit highlights the federal government’s resolve to monitor critical infrastructural projects personally and clamp down on practices that encourage corruption.
