Ganduje also embarked on a tour of facilities at the Lagos International Airport, where he identified challenges plaguing the authority.

He said, ” My request here is for collaboration. I hope there is no institutional rivalry. Wherever you have a function to be executed by different institutions, sometimes if care is not taken, there will be rivalry and the end of it, whatever you do if the other institution or agency has not done its homework, then you find out that the overall objective is defective.

“I implore you the managing director of FAAN  alongside other MDs of other agencies to work together so that you all can achieve the overall objective of Mr. President.”

He went on, ” Organizational structure is also vital, we expect cooperation   among directorates, no directorate itself will succeed without  the cooperation of other directorates. So there should be a seamless understanding and  synergy. I also call for more coordination.”

The FAAN board chairman charged personnel of the authority to step up their  attitude to work, which he identified as a major  contributor  in the overall goal attainment of the agency.

Ganduje said, ”  So, I believe we should improve on our personal disposition toward achieving the goals of FAAN. The difference between success and failure is motivation . What is your individual motive toward the growth of the organization? Aside remuneration, motivation by the organization, motivating yourself to improve the lot of the organization is very important. You must respect the hierarchy of the organization.”
