Joint Action Congress, JAC, of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has urged President Bola Tinubu to confirm acting Director General of the NCAA as the substantive DG.

JAC, comprising the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, ATSSSAN, National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE, Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals, ANAP, Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, NAAPE, said the agency required a firm and professional leadership as shown by Najomo.

Rising from a meeting held in Lagos, the group, in a communique signed by Jakada Anthony, Remi Aderinkomi, Ben Godwin and Diepreye Saburugha, told the Federal Government that Najomo has given no room for errors since he began supervising the agency.

The statement reads in part: "JAC acknowledged that a new culture of dignity and value for the workforce birthed under the current management totally fits into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, and is now the driving force unlocking several milestone achievements across the entire Aviation Industry as guided by Honorable Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo's five-point agenda for the aviation sector.

"JAC affirmed that the evaluation and assessment of the performance of Capt. Chris Najomo so far, in line with President Tinubu's quality policy coordination and delivery for all heads of agencies of government, can best be achieved by relying on feedback from the aviation industry stakeholder's majority of whom have expressed plaudits for the current leadership at NCAA.

"JAC reminded the Federal Government that aviation is a precision industry with no margin of error world-wide. Regulatory and oversight demands firm and professional leadership which cannot be subjected to political whims and caprices."
