A reflection of the development shows that the sector’s share of total trade volume appears abysmal, as most aircraft leaves the country almost empty.
But, in reaction to the development, the Managing Director, FAAN, Mr. Kabir Mohammed, while speaking at the ground breaking ceremony stated that, establishing an aviacargo village was identified as one of the quick wins in addressing the rejection of agro-export from Nigeria and increasing the country’s exports and earnings.
He said: “The cargo village which is one of the proposed recommendations of the aviacargo road map committee, setup by FAAN, is meant to streamline the process of agro-export in the country and create a seamless operation from the farm to the airplane before it’s ferried abroad.NYSC Portal
“By this ground breaking ceremony taking place today, you can agree with me that FAAN management is truly determined to implement your recommendations with a view to taking the rightful number one position in aviacargo exports in Africa with the next few years.
