All the agencies are in the Ministry of Aviation.
Odutayo Oluseyi, Spokesperson for the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, confirmed the removal of the Directors in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
The federal government in the statement directed the affected Directors to hand over to the most senior officers in their various directorates immediately.
Odutayo said : “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.
“The Directors of the affected agencies include, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, Nigeria Meteorological Agency, Nigeria Airspace Management Agency, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, and Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau have been instructed to hand over their duties to the most senior personnel in their respective directorates without further delay.”
However, the agencies’ board secretaries and legal advisers remain unaffected by this directive.
