TRUMP HAS THREATENS TO BAR ALL NIGERIAN AIRLINES COMING TO AMERICA…
Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA....The United States Federal Aviation
Administration, FAA, has given Nigerian airlines a 65-day ultimatum to resolve
specified security issues or risk being barred from flying to its country.
A team of US FAA officials who
recently carried out an audit for the renewal of Nigeria’s category one safety
status gave the ultimatum on August 24. The US FAA periodically check foreign
airports with which it has bilateral agreements to ensure they meet set
standards.
The checks include having effective
and efficient aviation regulations, operational state civil aviation systems
and safety oversight functions and technical personnel qualification and
training.
Others include the provision of technical guidance, tools, provision
of safety-critical information, licensing, certification, authorisation and
approval obligations. John Ojikutu, member of aviation industry think-tank,
Aviation Round Table, ART, and CEO of Centurion Securities, said he doubted if
Nigeria could attain the category one safety status without having its major
airports certified.
Ojikutu said airport certification
was compliant to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, NCAR, Part 12.6.4,
which carries obligations on the operator to continuously maintain standards
and competence in operation and ensuring availability of skilled manpower in
sufficient numbers, for the periodic maintenance of the facilities and the
system.
He said: “Many stakeholders would probably be asking; what is the necessity
for the certification when the industry was already classified category one ?
“What many do not know, however, is that the classification of Nigeria as
Category one, was meant only for the NCAA Regulations and oversight competence,
the way university academic programs are rated or accredited by the Nigeria
Universities Commission (NUC).
“Unfortunately, the NCAA is like a
university that has been long accredited but has not been able to graduate a
student. The NCAA, in spite of its category one status classification in 2010
and even today in 2017 after its reclassification, has not been able to give
certification to a single airport among the over 28 federal and state airports
in the country.”
