Nigeria Receives Civil Aviation Master Plan from ICAO

Nigeria's Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, received the Civil Aviation Master Plan from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) during the opening session of the Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS) held in Marrakech, Morocco. This landmark document signifies a major milestone for Nigeria's aviation sector and outlines a strategic framework for the industry's transformation over the next two decades, from 2025 to 2045.

The master plan, which was approved by Keyamo, is designed to align with Nigeria's national development plan and broader economic infrastructure objectives. It emphasizes the need for modern airport infrastructure to accommodate increasing passenger and cargo traffic, the deployment of advanced technologies, and adherence to international safety and security standards.

The plan aims to transform Nigerian airports into aerotropolis hubs, drive economic activity, create jobs, and enhance national connectivity, while also focusing on human capital development and investment opportunities in the private sector.
