The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has clarified that no employee is ever compelled to alter or suppress their qualifications during any stage of its recruitment process. The Authority made this clear while addressing concerns raised in recent discussions about staff placement and career progression.
FAAN stated that all engagement procedures are based strictly on the advertised positions, their requirements at the time, and the voluntary submissions of applicants. It stressed that its recruitment system is designed to reflect fairness, merit, and transparency, and that it does not request or enforce any modification of qualifications from applicants or staff.
In its statement, FAAN explained that its human resource and administrative procedures follow established statutory standards that guide recruitment, placement, and career growth within the organisation.
According to the Authority, these standards are structured to promote equity, competence, and efficiency across all departments. FAAN added that it maintains a strong culture of due process and will not deviate from frameworks that ensure accountability and professionalism at every stage of staff management.
The Authority noted that the Managing Director recently approved an internal review to look into certain employment-related concerns that came to the attention of management. FAAN said this review aims to strengthen clarity, ensure the uniform application of policies, and reinforce trust in the systems that support staff progression. It added that the process will help identify gaps and improve structures where necessary to further protect the integrity of its operations.
FAAN also reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on workplace misconduct, including harassment, intimidation, or abuse of office. The Authority explained that its internal reporting and redress mechanisms remain active, confidential, and strictly enforced to safeguard the dignity and well-being of all staff. It added that any behaviour that conflicts with the values of the organisation is thoroughly investigated and addressed through established disciplinary channels.
The Authority restated its commitment to building a work environment that rewards integrity, respects hierarchy, supports career development, and upholds professionalism across critical units such as Aviation Security AVSEC, Aviation Rescue and Firefighting Services ARFFS, and other key departments.
FAAN appreciated the dedication of its staff and encouraged continuous cooperation, dialogue, and adherence to due process as it works toward strengthening its operations nationwide.
