Later, bidders would submit proposals while the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the Ministry and the Labour Union would negotiate the terms of the concession.<\/p>\n<p>Sirika reiterated that despite the criticisms trailing the prolonged implementation of the aviation development roadmap which encompasses the four airports concession, the government was being meticulous in the process.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured that not a single worker of FAAN would lose his job, saying, \u201cIf one person will lose his job because of concession, I will stop the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the concession happens, there will be no job loss. If we employ you and give you a letter, it means you are qualified and equipped and therefore you will continue to be a FAAN staff, there will be no single job loss and as a matter of fact, we will be needing more hands.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government would this month invite qualified local and international firms for the concession of four airports, Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika has said.
