The Federal Government is committed to promoting green investment and innovation to create a sustainable aviation sector in the nation’s airports.
Mr Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, made this known in his opening remarks at a stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
Keyamo, who was represented by the Ministry`s Permanent Secretary, Dr Ibrahim Kana, this aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and foster environmentally responsible practices within the Nigerian aviation industry.
The meeting is with theme, “Airport Carbon Emission Management: Role of Strategic and Intentional Collaboration among Stakeholders,” based on ‘ Airport Carbon Emission Management’ for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.
The minister said the achievements of carbon emission management at NAIA would be viewed as blueprint for rollout across nation`s international gateways.
