FG names Kwam 1 airport security ambassador
The Federal Government has named Fuji music icon Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, as an ambassador for airport security following a recent incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) initially placed a flight ban on KWAM 1 after he was accused of obstructing an aircraft and carrying a prohibited flask allegedly containing alcohol.
However, after the musician publicly apologized and demonstrated penitence, the NCAA decided to reduce the flight ban to one month. As part of the resolution, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will work with KWAM 1 to promote awareness of acceptable conduct within the aviation space.
The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, emphasized that while clemency was granted in this case, the government remains committed to enforcing safety and security laws in the aviation sector.
