NCAA appoints consultant against illegal erection of high masts

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has appointed Zilcotech International limited as a consultant to monitor illegal erection of high structures across the country.

The appointment falls in line with section 35(h) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022; and Parts 12.1.7.1.3.1, 12.1.7.1.2 (2) and 12.1.7.1.6 of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, (Nig.CARs) 2015.

Zilcotech’s engagement is said to be sequel to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approval dated 17th November, 2022 and the agreement signed on 22nd of December, 2021 between the Authority and the firm.

Following the development, a letter of introduction has been sent out to all the concerned operators and stakeholders in the sector.

The letter from the NCAA to the relevant key players  in the sector partly declared: “We are confident that this collaboration will be beneficial to all stakeholders and the public at large as it concerns the enhancement of safety within the navigable airspace of Nigeria”.

The regulatory agency urged all the stakeholders to cooperate with the consultant in the interest of safer skies even as it directed that all payments accruing to the Authority on account of the attendant services be paid directly to NCAA and not to the Consultant.

The NCAA however vowed that  failure to comply with Safety Regulations and violations would be viewed seriously.
