Group Commend NCAA Boss for Revamping Agency

African Aviation Renaissance Group (AARG) has commended the performance of the acting Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Captain Chris Najomo, for the efficiency and improvement he has brought to the regulatory authority since he took over the agency last year.

Spokesman of the group, Comrade Akanbi Adimula, said the sterling performance of Captain Najomo has once again reinforced the time-tested solution to the challenge of leadership and position mismatch in the organisation.

Adimula said in early 2024, when the Minister of Aviation effected changes in the leadership of all agencies under his Ministry, the most applauded of the new appointment were those of the female managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the appointment of Capt. Najomo, who was then a serving Director in NCAA, noting that plaudits back then were effusive in their commendation of Mr. Festus Keyamo for rising above the usual political sentiments and exigencies, to appoint an industry professional who was not a stranger to the regulatory/administrative dynamics of Nigerian Civil Aviation.

“And many months down the line, Najomo’s appointment though on an acting capacity, has turned out to be the much needed elixir and healing balm which the NCAA and Nigeria Civil Aviation have been waiting for after the not-too impressive industrial showing of the last administration.

“Today, Nigerians and those who should know are boldly pointing to the numerous positive innovations that have brought about great improvements and have renewed the hopes of industry stakeholders and workers alike in the sector,” he said.
