Ganduje Appointed Chairman of FAAN Board Days After APC Resignation

Former APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has been officially appointed as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), just days after stepping down from his role in the ruling party.

The announcement was confirmed in a post on social media by the
S.A. Digital Media to Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Gbenga Saka while the inauguration of newly appointed FAAN board members held in Abuja was ongoing.

This signals Ganduje’s swift transition from party leadership to a key federal appointment.

Ganduje’s resignation from the APC chairmanship had sparked speculation about his next political move. This appointment confirms his continued relevance in national affairs.

The inauguration also marked the formal commencement of his responsibilities as head of FAAN’s governing board, which oversees operations and strategic decisions for Nigeria’s airports.
