Nigeria’s Airspace Secured From Threat – NCAA
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has assured that with its enhanced safety surveillance, Nigerian airspace has been secured from threat.
Acting Director General of the NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo, gave the assurance during the staff’s annual New Year prayers held at the Authority’s corporate headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking at the sidelines of the programme, Najomo said the authority has enhanced safety surveillance because of safety issues.
He also urged airlines to comply with its regulations, saying if not, the agency would ensure adherence.
He said: “Let me be honest with you, what the President has done with his Renewed Hope agenda has ensured that our minister, with his five key points agenda, has, of course, given us the opportunity to perform more. We are going to continue performing more. Our directors are on ground.
“Anything that will make sure that every airline complies, we will do. You can see recently we had to sanction some airlines and they accepted their sanctions.
“We sanctioned five airlines because they refused to pay refund tickets and they have agreed that they will pay on time. So, you know, this year, 2025, we hope to see more and better.”
On staff work conditions, he said his management was motivating staff in the best ways possible in addition to improved work space.
Najomo also identified some of the digital solutions the agency was using to make work seamless, saying: “We will be fully digitalised. We also have the flight data centre that is there. We have the CPD portal. We have the DATR portal to make it easier doing business and seamless too.”
