The Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah has recorded many achievements in the last two years.
.
However, her major glaring landmarks are in the remodeling of the nation's airports, and the aerotropolis concept which is aimed at building airport cities.

Part of the  minister's achievement is the.  signing of the Passenger Statement of Rights. It ensures that in all circumstances, airlines remain alive to their obligations to customers and there are sanctions for default. As part of the steps taken to protect consumers, the Ministry has engaged with some foreign airlines on unfair regional disparity in ticket pricing.

The Ministry has  also advanced  the process for the floating of a new national carrier that will be fully owned by the public. This will enable Nigeria respond to her reciprocal obligations under Bilateral Air Service Agreement, BASA. There has also been Independent Power Projects ,IPP, for designated Airports.
