The Federal Government on Friday announced the sack of all the directors in the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Nation newspaper is reporting.



The removal of the officials is with immediate effect, the paper said.

The Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, announced the development, and directed the affected officials to immediately hand over to those next in command in their various directorates, the report said.

The Nation quoted the General Manager, Public Affairs, of the agency, Sam Adurogboye, as confirming the removal of the directors.

“It is true that all the directors have been disengaged, but I don’t have details of their disengagement,” Mr. Adurogboye was quoted as saying.

The affected directors are:

Salawu Ozigi (Director of Finance and Accounts)

Joyce Nkemakolam (Director of Aerodrome and Airspace Standards)

Aba Ejembi (Director of Administration)

Emmanuel Ogunbami (Director of Licensing)

Benedict Adeyileka (Director of Airworthiness).

Justus Wariya (Director of Air Transport Regulation)

Adamu Abdullahi (Director of Consumer Protection)

Ayodele Sasegbon (Director of General Aviation)

Austin-Amadi Ifeanyi (Director of Human Resources).

The reasons for the removal are not immediately known.

This is coming a day after Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo paid a surprise visit to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

It looks as though, as if, APC started what one can call real governance in February 2017.

They have started real governance since May 29/2015 but the cloud is just getting clearer for everyone to see clearly.... The result of what they started since they took over is just yielding positive result & we ain't seen nothing yet!!

Buhari is coming back soon!!

@Samguine - we all hope and pray so. But, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Tales of Yaradua's health is still fresh in the memory and that saga, many would claim, set us back.

The way these agencies extort money from people in that airport is quite alarming... All of them deserve to be sacked from top to bottom.....

@curator, no cause for alarm. Buhari is leaving Aso Rock in 2023
