Following Wednesday’s removal of chief executive officers of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Meteorological Agency  (NiMet), Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau (NSIB), the federal government on Thursday announced the sack of their directors.

The ministry of aviation and aerospace development disclosed this in a statement entitled ‘Reorganisation in the agencies under the ministry of aviation and aerospace development’ issued in Abuja by its spokesman, Mr Odutayo Oluseyi.

The statement reads: “Following the change in the leadership of the Aviation and Aerospace Development Agencies’ CEOs and MDs aimed to reposition the Aviation industry and ensure safety and efficient air travel experience by Nigerians in line with the Renewed Hope agenda of Mr. President, I am directed to inform all directors of the following agencies that they have been relieved of their appointments forthwith and should hand over to the most senior officer in their various directorates with immediate effect.

The directors of the affected agencies are as follows: Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigeria Metrological Agency  (NiMet), Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau (NSIB).”

However, the ministry said “all the agencies’ board secretaries and legal advisers are not affected.”
