Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Felix Hassan Hyat is a former Minister of State for the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Aviation. He was appointed by President Umaru Yar'Adua in June 2007, and left office in October 2008 after a cabinet reshuffle.[1]

Aviation minister

In 2007 he floated the idea of privatizing or concessioning some airports, including MMIA, Lagos, Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar, and Port-Harcourt International Airport.[2] He moved the headquarters of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to the national capital, Abuja, a decision that caused controversy over the cost and disruption entailed.[3] In October 2008 he threatened to use drastic methods to make airline operators pay N8 billion they owe to aviation parastatals.[4]

He accepted his dismissal in October 2008 gracefully, saying the cabinet reshuffle was not aimed at any individual but was done to move the nation forward, and describing his term as a very special moment of his life.[5]
