The Federal Government has announced that celebrated Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, will serve as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol in Nigeria.
The decision follows a recent incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, where the music icon’s conduct drew the attention of aviation authorities and led to regulatory action. While details of the incident were widely reported, officials say the resolution aims to turn a moment of controversy into an opportunity for public awareness and positive change.
As an ambassador, KWAM 1 will work with aviation security agencies to promote passenger compliance with safety regulations, including airport screening procedures, in-flight conduct, and respect for operational guidelines. His role will involve public service campaigns, media appearances, and community outreach designed to encourage smoother, safer travel experiences for all passengers.
Government representatives noted that KWAM 1’s influence and large fan base make him an ideal candidate to champion this cause, bridging the gap between regulatory authorities and the traveling public.
By transforming a disciplinary matter into a collaborative initiative, the move reflects the aviation sector’s broader strategy of education over punishment, aiming to reduce passenger-related infractions and strengthen Nigeria’s reputation for safe and orderly air travel.
KWAM 1, known for his decades-long career and impact on Nigerian music, is expected to begin his ambassadorial engagements in the coming weeks, with campaigns planned both at major airports and across digital platforms.
