The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo, CON, SAN has won Midwest Herald Minister of the Year Award.

The vote tally saw Keyamo beating the Federal Capital Territory Minister, His Excellency Nyesome Wike and Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Tunji Ojo to second and 3rd position respectively.

Votes were weighed on Key Performance Index (KPIs) of the various ministries, that formed the metrics to measure the ministers performances.

The award to Keyamo as Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, is in recognition of the visible changes and innovations at the Airports across the country; the strict monitoring and supervision of airlines operating in Nigeria, as well as major institutional reforms that he has introduced for the ongoing transformation of Nigeria’s aviation industry.
