Barely a day after President Bola Tinubu approved the sacking of the heads of the various civil aviation agencies, the Federal Government on Thursday ordered the removal of directors under the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development.
Among those affected include directors of the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMET), Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), and Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau (NSIB).
This was contained in a statement signed by the Head, Press and Public Affairs, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Odutayo Oluseyi on Thursday, December 14, in Abuja.
According to the statement, the sack does not affect board secretaries and legal advisers were not affected by the directive.
The statement read, “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.
“I am also to inform all the agencies’ Board Secretaries and Legal Advisers that they are not affected by this directive.
