In a move that is already stirring conversations across the political and aviation sectors, Nigerian Stories has revealed via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle that former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
The announcement, labeled as “BREAKING NEWS,” marks a significant return to public office for Ganduje, who served as governor from 2015 to 2023 and is also the current National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Although official confirmation is expected from the presidency or the Ministry of Aviation, this strategic appointment is already sparking debate about political patronage and the future of Nigeria’s aviation infrastructure.
Ganduje’s appointment is seen by political analysts as both a consolidation of influence within key federal institutions and a potential game-changer for FAAN, an agency critical to the modernization and security of Nigerian airports.
This development comes amid ongoing reforms in the aviation sector and heightened expectations for improved safety, revenue generation, and international compliance within Nigeria’s airports.
More details are expected to follow as reactions pour in from across the nation.
