Festus Keyamo, di Minister of Aviation, don yarn say na serious work dem don put for this matter since last year. E say dem don follow all di necessary process wey go make sure say everything dey transparent and correct.
Abeg, no be small matter as dem gather di top shots from Enugu State, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and di concessionaire, wey be Aero Alliance, for di signing. Keyamo talk say dis agreement no just dey about airport but e dey also cover di interest of di workers. He come run mouth say no worker go lose job as dem dey switch to this new partnership.
“We ensure say di rights of di workers dey intact,” him talk. Na im make everybody dey smile. Di minister drop am well well say dem check everything wey dey on ground and dem cover all areas before dem sign di agreement.
As dem sign this agreement, still dey get small issues wey dem go settle like security fees and financial model wey go help run di airport matter well. But no wahala, dem dey on top di case, and within few weeks, everything go dey sorted.
