The Federal Government has appointed five new Directors and one General Manager for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). NCAA’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mr Sam Adurogboye, explained that the appointment was with immediate effect. He said that those appointed were Capt. Edem Oyo-Ita as Director of Air Transport Regulations, Mr Abbas Sanusi; Director, Human Resources and Administration, Adamu Sani; Director of Finance and Accounts. Others are: Odunowo Tayyib Adetunji, Director of Aerodrome and Airspace Standards, Mr Ita Awak, Director of Airworthiness Standards, Lawrence Kwajok, General Manager, Air Navigational Standards.
Recall that on Friday, the federal government sacked all the directors in the agency. The sacked directors were Alhaji Salawu Ozigi (Director of Finance and Accounts), Dr Joyce Nkemakolam (Director of Aerodrome and Airspace Standards) and Mr Aba Ejembi (Director of Administration). Others are Mr Emmanuel Ogunbami (Director of Licensing), Mr Benedict Adeyileka (Director of Airworthiness), Mr Justus Wariya (Director of Air Transport Regulation) and Mr Austin-Amadi Ifeanyi (Director of Human Resources). The affected directors were immediately ordered to handover to their next subordinate who will in the interim take charge of the activities in their directorates.
In October of 2016 the Federal Government had demoted 22 directors and general managers of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). The restructuring was based on the recommendations of the Presidential Committee chaired by the Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita. The Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, had said the restructuring would be extended to the NCAA and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency which were also currently over bloated. (NAN)
