Directors of Aviation Agencies Terminated Shortly After CEOs’ Dismissal

All director appointments within these agencies have been terminated by the federal government due to the recent departure of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) from important aviation authorities.

This decision was communicated by the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development via a statement that the Head of Press and Public Affairs, Odutayo Oluseyi, signed.

The most senior members of respective departments or directorates were asked to take over from the directors.

UPDATE: Tinubu Sacks, Replaces Heads of Aviation Agencies

It’s important to remember that a few of these directors took office just prior to May 29, which was the day the previous government gave way to Bola Tinubu’s.

The quick firing, which came just a day after the CEOs were removed, demonstrated the government’s resolve to restructure the airline industry.

The statement stated, “Following the change in the leadership of the Aviation and Aerospace Development Agencies’ CEOs and MDs aimed to reposition the Aviation industry and ensure safety and efficient air travel experience by Nigerians in line with the Renewed Hope agenda of Mr. President, I am directed to inform all DIRECTORS of the following agencies that they have been relieved of their appointments forthwith and should hand over to the most senior officer in their various directorates with immediate effect.
