The Director General of the Bureau, Engr Akin Olateru who spoke through the Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, NSIB, James Odaudu, said the purpose of the meeting is to enable stakeholders to make contributions to the amendments which are meant to, amongst others, ensure that the Bureau’s regulations are consistent with the Standards and Recommended Practices outlined in ICAO Annex 13.
The Amendments, he further reiterated, are meant to put the Bureau in tune with the evolution of new technologies and changes within the industry globally.
According to the statement, “expected to attend the meeting are members of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), all holders of valid Air Operators Certificate (AOC), security agencies and all those involved in Air Safety and Security issues.
“The meeting which is billed to hold at the conference room of the Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in Abuja, will also hold simultaneously on Zoom for those unable to be physically present
In a related development, the Bureau has also stepped up preparation for the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), safety and security audit of Nigeria scheduled for August.”
Olateru said although NSIB has always been on top of its duties, preparations are in top gear to ensure that the country comes top again in all aspects, especially as it concerns NSIB.
