The African Development Bank (AfDB) has appointed Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, as the African champion for its $7 billion integrated aviation transformation programme for Africa (IATP).
The bank said the appointment followed Nigeria’s “leadership and vision” in implementing policy reforms aimed at transforming the country’s aviation sector.
In a statement, Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister, said AfDB also invited Keyamo to its annual meeting scheduled for May 28, 2026, in Brazzaville.
