Recall that Capt. Najomo was appointed the acting director general, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in December, 2023.

AON, the umbrella body for registered airlines in Nigeria said their call for his confirmation is an endorsement of the quality regulation at the NCAA describing it as the best in the world.

The spokesman of AON, and the chairman, United Nigeria Airlines, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo disclosed the AON position on Wednesday at the the World United Consumer Organization Maiden International Air Transport Conference with the theme: “Air Transport in Africa: Prospects and Challenges.”

AON said the NCAA under Capt. Najomo is safety centric but without stifling  airlines to stunted growth.

Prof. Obiora said AON members have experienced an ease of doing business climate never experienced in the industry before but without compromising safety and security.

He acknowledged the simplified certification processes, renewed zeal among well-motivated staff following prioritisation of staff welfare, and the absence of bureaucratic red tape that hitherto plagued regulation.

Also, the chairman Air Peace and the vice president, AON, Allen Onyema said Capt. Najomo has zero tolerance for anything unsafe in the industry.

He said his promotion of the ease of doing business doesn’t mean he tolerates unsafe practices by any airline.

In his brief address during the conference, Capt. Najomo emphasised that the NCAA conducts surveillance checks on all the airline’s operators.

He also said the Authority is in discussion with the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), to increase the operational duties of air traffic controllers from 7 pm to 10 pm at the sunset airports to enhance operational efficiency of the airlines and give customers better flying choices.

He said the NCAA has developed a regulatory culture that is transparent and drives aviation growth.

He also acknowledged the need for promoting innovation and technology.

He said leveraging advancements in technology will be critical to improving safety, efficiency, and customer experience.
