The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu disclosed at the weekend that the policies implemented by the Authority within the last year have ignited growth in the aviation sector in Nigeria.
Taking to his X handle, Achimugu stated that “in the most recent future and it won’t be long the aviation industry will acknowledge that it owes this man (referring to the Acting Director General of NCAA) a debt of gratitude.
“The ease of doing business without compromising standards mantra that he has executed in the NCAA in just one year as Ag. director-general has caused an immeasurable impact.
“I am an apostle of praising people while they are still alive to enjoy applause for their good work.
“Dear Capt. Chris Najomo, as you mark one year in office, I celebrate the milestones you have achieved, and the courage with which you have taken on the challenges which you inherited.
“It does not matter how the future plays out, you already proved your mettle. You have automated most of our processes.
“The flight data centre is a huge step in preventing accidents and collating data. The Consumer Protection Department owes its rejuvenation to your support and vision.
“The DATR portal is a loud statement about your intentions, as has been your ability to pay workers what was unjustly owed them for years, despite budget provisions and approvals.
“You historically signed the IDERA and cut down the alleged corruption of inspections by allowing aircraft to be inspected in Nigeria.
“The NCAA in particular, and the aviation industry in general, owe you flowers for ensuring that Nigeria achieved an admirable score in the last audit.
“As more aircraft come into Nigeria, airlines will be better equipped to serve passengers and there will be fewer disruptions. I know how strategically you have been trying to fix the issues that cause high airfares. There is so much I could say, but I will stop here for now” the Director said.
