    Ali Tounsi, secretary general of the ACI Africa Region, expressed his satisfaction with the level of facilities at the Nigerian airports.

    He told a press conference held in Lagos on Thursday that Nigeria is prepared to host the conference billed to take place in Abuja, capital of Nigeria, and that the ACI would assist in the provision of quality service, particularly on the training and transfer of knowledge to its members.

    Richard Aisuebeogun, managing director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), said the conference will be attended by over 500 participants and that it would foster opportunity of strengthening non-aeronautical revenue stream for FAAN through relationships and prospects from the event.
