The committees which were inaugurated by the Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, are Project Steering Committee and Project Delivery Committee.

Performing the inauguration in his office, the minister said he would be the chairman of the project steering committee with the mandate to provide the general direction and steer the course of Public-Private Partnership project concessions in the aviation sector.

He said some of the reservations being expressed by people about the exercise were borne out of misconception that concession is synonymous with privatisation.

He explained that the affected institutions remained the properties of the Federal Government and that more jobs would be generated from the exercise.

Others are to consider and facilitate necessary permits, clearances and approve action plans, budgets and financial requests submitted by the project delivery committee.
