Leadership is as much a question of timing as anything else. A leader
must appear on the scene when people are looking for leadership as Mao Tse Tung
did in 1931, as Winston Churchill did in 1940 and as Lenin did in 1917, when he
comes, he must offer a simple, eloquent message, that is what Engr. Saleh did
when he assumed office in 2014 he gave the message “building the institution
through selfless service to our fatherland.
The appointment of Engr. Saleh Dunoma as the Managing Director of FAAN,
was the best thing to have happened in the aviation industry. He came on board
when the entire Aviation industry was hungry for Transparent Leadership. He is
a seasoned administrator, a great simplifier who cut through argument, debate
and doubt to offer solution to huge challenges that have beset the aviation
industry for years, which today is understood to be a thing of the past, due to
emergence of Engr. Dunoma.
His resilient, doggedness and his leadership style of placing square
pegs in square holes has placed the aviation sector on the plinth of greatness
through purposeful leadership.
Suffice it to say that the advent of Engr. Dunoma and his agenda for
the aviation sector in the last two years have greatly and enormously transform
the aviation industry with glaring evident of facts.
It is being obvious that the Aviation sector needed a pragmatic
helmsman with wealth of experience, to direct its affair which was found in
Engr. Dunoma: quality leadership, purposefulness, accountability, truthfulness,
humility, tolerance and love forthe industry.
Over the years, administrative leadership that eluded the aviation
sector, but today FAAN has found it in Engr. Dunoma. People can only be led
where they want to go, the leader follows, though a step ahead, Engr. Dunoma
has demonstrated a leadership that rides waves, move with the tides and
understand the deepest yearnings of the entire staff of FAAN.
Engr. Dumona has shown that aviation sector can grow to meet up with
international best practices and standards even in the midst of pessimist,
critics and enemies of development. He has achieved giant strides even with
little resources at his disposal and has expressed pragmatism in the face of
challenges. Engr. Dunoma dignifies our desire, convince us that aviation
industry will become the hub for economic advancement which will be to the
advantage of the nation.
He has given FAAN a sense of glory and
the Aviation sector at large, it will be a great disservice if
Engr. Dumona do not get applause from us as an organization, whose mandate is
to evaluate the performance of public office holders to ensure it is in tandem
with parameters of transparency, accountability and probity for the overall
economic growth and national development.
We the initiative for leadership and Economic Watch in Nigeria have
resolved to promote openness, and at all times with patriotism, where the
people opinion direct the course Justice and fair play in the administrative
process of Government institutions. We state unequivocally that Engr. Dunoma
has proven to us that he has come to serve Nigerians with outmost desire to
revolutionize Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria.
It is against this background, we therefore state with all humility and
confidence that Engr. Dunoma is currently reflecting back to us, aviation sense
of purpose, putting into words aviation dream and hope by transforming her
needs and fears into concrete administrative polices and programmes that are
result oriented and which today are evident for all to see.
