The leading ground handling firm also recorded double honours, as its Chairman, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, was named among the Top 50 Air Cargo Personalities in Nigeria, while its Managing Director/CEO, Mrs. Adenike Aboderin, was also celebrated as one of the country’s top air cargo leaders.

The awards were received on behalf of the company’s leadership by Mrs. Anne Nwadike, SAHCO’s Cargo Marketing Manager, who represented the Executive Director of Cargo Services, Mrs. Boma Ukwunna.

Speaking during the event, organizer Mr. Ikechi Uko praised SAHCO for consistently raising the bar in aircraft and cargo ground handling services.
