National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) has concluded plans to build a befitting headquarters, maintenance and hospitality facility at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Established about 40 years ago, NAAPE has been the official voice for pilots and aircraft engineers in Nigeria, looking after the welfare of its members and enabling the sustainable growth of our aviation sector.
The association said the construction of the N2.5 billion state-of-the-art facility would be powered by Hall 7 Real Estate and the groundbreaking scheduled for August 2016, with plans for completion within 24 months.
The new facility would host 150-room 5-star hotel, a club house, 40+ offices, world-class training facilities and event and banquet centres, a swimming pool and exercise centre, the NAAPE Hall of Fame, a banking hall, game centres, and much more.
“This is my proud seventh year as the national president of our association. We have been deliberating on this matter for 40 years and I believe that this achievement is timely. I will be stepping down next year, and feel that this will provide a legacy service that will benefit the next generations of the NAAPE. It remains my great privilege to serve until we select my successor to carry forward and continue to deliver to our vision,” Isaac Balami, president of NAAPE, said.
“I would like to place on record my deepest appreciation to NAAPE, NEC and NAC for their support in taking this unanimous decision to perform this herculean task,” Balami said.
