FAAN MD urges staff on revenue drive

Saleh Dunoma, Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)

Mr Saleh Dunoma, Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has urged the agency’s members of staff to work assiduously toward increasing its revenue generation capacity.

Dunoma, according to a statement in Lagos on Friday, gave the charge at the annual performance review meeting of the Directorate of Commercial and Business Development in Calabar.

The statement was signed by FAAN’s General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mr Yakubu Dati.

Dunoma described the dwindling fortunes arising from the negative impact of the present economic realities as a wake-up call to respond to President Muhammadu Buhari’s charge to “think outside the box”.

He said: “There must be a major paradigm shift in our business model.

“This will provide us the opportunity to collectively carry out a forensic audit of our activities, processes and values in the pursuit of our vision to be among the best airport groups in the world.”

Dunoma urged participants to evolve new and efficient measures to improve on non-aeronautical revenue sources while attaining best practices in the service contract with stakeholders.

“My expectation is that attention will be given to the critical areas of commercial operations targeted at the urgent optimisation of revenue performance, enhanced work processes, and substantial decline in revenue losses,” he said.

The statement also quoted Mr Tito Okpaise, the Acting Director of Commercial and Business Directorate, as saying that the retreat was meant to renew commitment, determination and zeal of staff to deliver beyond expectations.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
