Why aviation security personnel will start bearing arms before end of 2019 - FAAN

- Aviation security personnel will start bearing arms before the end of 2019

- This was the position of the Federal Airports of Nigeria (FAAN) on Wednesday, March 14

- FAAN's managing director, Saleh Dunoma, said that this was necessary to enhance surveillance in the sector

The Federal Airports of Nigeria (FAAN) has said that it is working on plans to secure approval for Aviation Security (AVSEC) officials to bear arms.

FAAN's managing director, Saleh Dunoma, made this known while briefing newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday, March 13, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Dunoma explained that before the end of 2019, AVSEC personnel would have been given permission to bear arms in order to enhance surveillance in the sector.

He, however, said that before this could be achieved, the department requires some training and approvals especially from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).

The managing director added that background checks would also be carried out on some of the personnel before the approval.

Dunoma said: “There are certain projects that we need to implement before we can start carrying arms, one -we have to get the arms.

“Two- we have to store the ammunition somewhere, we need to embark on projects that will enable us to have storage somewhere at the airport, three- we need to profile and train.

“It is not everybody that will bear arms, this, we must apply, we cannot train ourselves, we have to be trained by those that have been long in the system; the State Security Service and the Nigeria Police Force.

“Also, we want to make sure that we get certification from the office of the NSA. We have to go through these processes.”

He said as soon as the authority is through with all these, the AVSEC officials would be allowed to bear arms.

On the certification of international airports by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dunoma assured that other airports would be certified very soon by the regulatory agency.

According to him, the exercise is at different stages of completion.He disclosed that Kano, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Kaduna airports are going through the certification processes.

On the second runway project for Abuja Airport, Dunoma disclosed that the project is part of the 2019 budget and expressed optimism that it would scale through the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) approval.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
