Shake up in NCAA

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority [NCAA]  has carried out some levels of restructuring  within the Agency.
This is done with a view to enhance efficiency in service delivery and safe flight operations in and out of the nation airspace.
The exercise involved the termination forthwith of the contract appointments of  eight[8] officers whose contract were to run consecutively for  four [4] years contrary to the provision  of the rules  of tenure on contract appointment.
Consequently,  competent and skilled officers from the affected Directorates /Departments  have accordingly been re- assigned to fill the affected positions.
Also terminated were the appointments  of three [3] Special Assistants  to the erstwhile Honourable  Minster  of Aviation  who  were domiciled with NCAA. Their appointment ceased with the end of the tenure of the  Honourable  Minister who engaged their services as stipulated by the rules.
It is pertinent to point out that the management decision to carry out this exercise is in conformity with extant rules on tenure of contract appointment and in line with NCAA condition of service.
The Authority has put in place plans to train staffers of the Authority for the purpose of succession and take over from existing ageing workforce in its service.
The  Authority assure members of the flying public of its commitment to the  onerous oversight responsibilities of the industry in order  that safe flight operations in the country is guaranteed at all times. This ,according to the Acting General Manager,Public Affairs, Sam Adurogboye, informed its zero tolerance to violation of safety  regulations.
Only recently, NCAA performed creditably  well  in the International Civil Aviation Organisation[ICAO] Aviation Security Audit  and  has also just concluded the stakeholders conference for the consideration of amendments to the  draft Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations[NCARs] in conformity to the international standards.
