The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) has re-elected Nigeria’s Ms Adefunke Adeyemi as its secretary general.
She was emerged at the 35th ordinary plenary session of the commission held in Brazzaville, Congo.
Tunde Moshood, spokesman for the minister of aviation and aerospace development, Mr Festus Keyamo, said in a statement that her victory was a reflection of the collective confidence of AFCAC member states in her visionary leadership and achievements.
He said the minister spearheaded strategic diplomatic engagements with African Union (AU) member states, rallying support for Adeyemi’s candidacy.
“This is not just a win for Nigeria but for the entire African aviation industry. Ms. Adeyemi’s outstanding leadership and innovative vision have positioned AFCAC to deliver transformative progress across the continent. Nigeria remains committed to driving the goals of AfCAC and ensuring the realization of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM),” Keyamo said in the statement.
The Commission comprises representatives from various AU regions.
As the specialised agency of the AU, AfCAC oversees civil aviation matters across the continent and serves as the executing body for the Yamassoukro Decision (YD).
Its primary mandate includes implementing the Single African Air Transport Market, a vision uniting 37 member states to enhance Africa’s aviation competitiveness and connectivity.
