Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has called for a meeting with heads of aviation regulatory agencies to address safety issues within the sector. The minister emphasized that a comprehensive evaluation of recent incidents will be conducted during the gathering.
“Due to safety concerns in the aviation sector expressed by members of the public, I have summoned the heads of the regulatory agencies to my office later today to review the incidents that are the causes of these concerns and to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to forestall future occurrence and to apply sanctions, where necessary, regarding the past incidents,” he tweeted
This development arises in the context of recent incidents involving a Fly United aircraft initially scheduled to land at Abuja airport but, instead, landed at Asaba airport.
