The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has concluded drafting of the State Safety Programme (SSP).
The exercise according to a statement by its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Michael Achimugu is being undertaken under the leadership of Acting Director General Capt. Chris Najomo.
This achievement, Achimugu said symbolizes a significant step towards Nigeria’s full-scale programme implementation, aligning with the stringent requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The development of the SSP draft, he further said is a testament to Nigeria’s commitment to adhering to ICAO Annex 19, which provides a comprehensive framework and strategic approach for managing aviation safety in line with international best practices.
In light of this monumental progress, the Acting Director General of NCAA, Achimugu said is inviting stakeholders to contribute to the refinement of the SSP document.
He said : “ Your valuable input is crucial to enhance the program’s relevance, coordination, and overall success, benefitting both the immediate safety and long-term security of our nation.”
