The Federal Government has announced plans to engage Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, commonly known as KWAM 1, as an ambassador for airport security protocols. This decision follows recent controversies regarding his conduct at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, disclosed that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) will work alongside KWAM 1 to promote proper airport security procedures, utilizing his influence to enhance public awareness.
Keyamo stated that, due to the musician’s public display of remorse, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will withdraw its earlier criminal complaint against him. The NCAA has also reduced KWAM 1’s flight ban to one month.
KWAM 1 described the incident as unfortunate, expressing sincere regret for his actions during a confrontation with airline staff and security officials at the airport while trying to board a ValueJet flight to Lagos.
