Nigeria’s Adefunke Adeyemi Re-Elected Secretary General of the AFRICAN CIVIL AVIATION COMMISSION (AFCAC) With the Strong Backing of Nigeria’s Aviation Minister
Nigeria has once again cemented its status as a leader in African aviation with the re-election of Nigeria’s Ms. Adefunke Adeyemi as Secretary General of the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC). The announcement came earlier today during the 35th Ordinary Plenary Session held in Brazzaville, Congo, where Ms. Adeyemi triumphed with 22 votes in favour and seven against. Her resounding victory reflects the collective confidence of AFCAC member States in her visionary leadership and achievements.
Central to this success was the instrumental role of Nigeria’s Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, who is in attendance at on-going conference in Congo Brazzaville. The Minister spearheaded strategic diplomatic engagements with African Union member States, rallying support for Ms. Adeyemi’s candidacy. His efforts were pivotal in reinforcing Nigeria’s influence in shaping the continent’s aviation future.
“This is not just a win for Nigeria but for the entire African aviation industry,” said Festus Keyamo, SAN after the election. “Ms. Adeyemi’s outstanding leadership and innovative vision have positioned AFCAC to deliver transformative progress across the continent. Nigeria remains committed to driving the goals of AfCAC and ensuring the realization of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM).”
This milestone represents a proud moment for Nigeria, underlining its unwavering commitment to strengthening Africa’s aviation ecosystem and fostering unity across the continent.
