The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has officially launched its ‘Acculturation Programme’ aimed at transforming its organisational culture towards efficiency and excellence.

This is disclosed in an official statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs & Consumer, Mrs Obiageli Orah, on Wednesday in Lagos.

FAAN’s Managing Director, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku, is said to have emphasised the programme’s significance in cultivating a work environment where excellence, efficiency, and integrity are paramount.

Kuku highlighted the programme as a commitment to continuous improvement, while urging staff to fully engage with the training sessions and materials.

Expressing confidence in the staff’s ability to drive FAAN’s vision forward, Kuku said: “Change is never easy, but it is necessary for growth and progress.”

The initiative, driven by the Director, Special Duties, Mr Henry Agbebire, includes a comprehensive culture change training for all staff, guided by a new handbook “Flight To Excellence”.

Additionally, FAAN introduced ‘Skyward Shift’, a monthly bulletin to keep staff informed and motivated, and announced the ‘MD’s Monthly Prize and Award for Excellence and Productivity’ to recognise outstanding performance.

According to the statement, with the programmes in place, FAAN aims to exceed stakeholder and passenger expectations, positioning itself as a leader in the global aviation community.
