Kuku’s election was ratified during the 34th ACI Africa General Assembly, held in Lusaka, Zambia, from September 13, 2025.

Tinubu praised FAAN’s efforts in raising Nigeria’s aviation standards, which he said have attracted international recognition.

“The President notes the sustained efforts and commitment of the FAAN management to making air transport in Nigeria safe, efficient, and reflective of the highest standards, which has attracted global recognition and commendations,” the statement partly read.

He also highlighted Kuku’s leadership record within ACI, which represents airports worldwide.
