The leadership of Joint Aviation Trade Unions’ Forum (JATUF), an umbrella body representing all Aviation Industry Trade Unions, has extended its heartfelt congratulations to the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), on his retention by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement signed by the forum’s Secretary, Comrade Hector Nnadi, JATUF commended Keyamo’s unwavering commitment to advancing Nigeria’s aviation sector. The union emphasized that his retention is a clear testament to his exceptional leadership and dedication to the growth of the industry.
