A fresh storm is brewing at the Roberts International Airport (RIA) after the newly appointed Managing Director—confirmed just weeks ago—reportedly dismissed nearly ten key personnel on his very first day in office.
According to internal sources, the MD convened an impromptu staff meeting where he immediately ordered the removal of senior staff, including the Chief Financial Officer, Accountants’ Deputies, and others within the financial department. In addition, critical positions such as the Human Resource Manager, Procurement Director, and the Chief of Staff in the MD’s Office were also allegedly replaced.
What is drawing even sharper public attention is that several of those brought in to occupy these roles are reportedly not employees of the RIA, raising further questions about transparency and motive.
The speed and scale of these decisions are raising eyebrows across the institution. Sector analysts and staff alike are voicing deep concerns: Why would a newly seated Managing Director rush to dismantle such sensitive departments? Positions like HR, Procurement, and Finance are the backbone of accountability—making abrupt changes in these areas suspicious to many.
While no official explanation has been issued, the situation has fueled speculation about whether the shake-up is routine restructuring or a move that could potentially create room for internal manipulation and questionable dealings.
For now, airport employees and the public await clarity as pressure mounts on the MD’s office to justify the sweeping changes that have rattled the nation’s major gateway.
