Keyamo summons heads of aviation agencies over ‘recurring’ safety issues
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has summoned heads of aviation regulatory agencies over the recent recurring safety issues in the aviation industry.
Mr Keyamo disclosed this on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday.
The agencies involved include the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, the Federal Airport Authority Nigeria, FAAN, the Nigeria Safety Investigation Bureau, NSIB, and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
According to him, a thorough assessment of recent incidents will be carried out during the meeting.
The minister said he would, thereafter, brief the press on the outcome of the deliberation to avert such occurrences.
Mr Keyamo said: “Due to safety concerns in the aviation sector expressed by members of the public, I have summoned the heads of the regulatory agencies to my office later today to review the incidents that are the causes of these concerns and to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to forestall future occurrence and to apply sanctions, where necessary, regarding the past incidents.’’
Recall that an incident involving United Nigeria Airlines occurred on Sunday when its Lagos-Abuja bound flight was diverted to Asaba, Delta State, due to poor weather conditions
The flight, NUA 0504, took off from the Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Terminal 2, and was headed for Abuja.
However, the pilot grounded the aircraft at the Asaba International Airport, and that caused some confusion among the passengers.
