About 33 new directors have been appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari to positions in organizations within the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace.
The new appointments are intended to help reposition the Agencies to perform their statutory duties as enshrined in the Acts and help to address appropriate placements, Federal character requirements, according to a statement released on Tuesday and signed by Odatayo Oluseyi, Head, Press and Public Affairs, Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace.

The following were some of the changes mentioned in the statement: “The establishment of new Directorates in some of the Agencies, with the Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Corporate Services, and Aviation Security Directorates standing out.

“The creation of the Public Affairs and Consumer Protection Directorate is to put the Agencies on their toes in terms of adequately addressing complaints by their respective stakeholders and oversee the Public Affairs / Protocol, Consumer Protection, SERVICOM and Anti-Corruption Departments while the Aviation Security Directorate in the NCAA will regulate the activities of the AVSEC personnel, especially with their recent arms-bearing status. The Corporate Services Directorates are to oversee the Procurement and Planning, Research and Departments.”
The reorganization, however, necessitated the appointment of Kabir Yusuf Mohammed as the new Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.

Similarly, Engr Tayib Odunowo has been appointed the substantive Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) to take over from Mr Matthew Lawrence Pwajok who reverts to his substantive position as Director of Operations of the Agency.

The Directors-General of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), Engr Akin Olateru; the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Prof Mansur Matazu and Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Captain Musa Nuhu are to run the remaining course of their tenures in line with the Acts setting up their respective Agencies.
