Keyamo Avers Airports as Major Revenue Generating Points for Government Globally
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has averred that airports across the world are revenue generating points for government.
The minister who was accompanied by the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Mr. Kabir Yusuf Mohammed made this remark during a tour at the General Aviation Terminal, (GAT), in Lagos.
Keyamo observed the absence of adverts across some strategic positions in the airport, noting that these are untapped government fund running down the drain.

Kayemo said “Let revenue be coming in through all these spaces here.
“Once anyone is driving into any local airport there should be life. Online advertisement agency have not and cannot take over real life advertisement.
“We have been given mandate to raise revenue for the government. Please, contact the advert agencies so they should put up adverts on all these spaces.
“We cannot have all these spaces and be talking about lack of funds. All details on your findings should be sent to me in seven days.”
