NCAA Says Capt Najomo, CAA Staff Are Focused On Duties To Industry
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says the Ag. Director General, Civil Aviation, Capt. Chris Najomo, the management and staff of the NCAA are focused on performing their duties to the industry and Nigeria and “will not be distracted by the antics of a few disgruntled elements whose vitriol can only be considered the last kicks of drowning horses who are angry to see their legacy of incompetence sink into the abyss where it belongs.”
In a reaction to an article purportedly signed by one Kolade Hassan and Sy Mohammed, attempting to ridicule the person, character, and competence of Capt. Chris Najomo, an industry icon who has put in over four decades of premium service to the industry as one of Nigeria’s best pilots, NCAA said “Najomo is driving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda well.”
Fondly called “Jolly Papa” by air travellers and admirers, Capt. Najomo has served meritoriously as Ag. DGCA since December 2023. Under his leadership, the NCAA has attained glorious heights.
Najomo is a sixty-five year old pilot, airline administrator, two-time director at the NCAA, and Ag. DGCA for a year now. Under Najomo’s leadership, the Consumer Protection Department of the NCAA has achieved the highest volume of passenger refunds and compensations in its entire history.
Capt. Najomo launched a first-of-its-kind consumer complaints portal for seamless resolution of cases, and to ensure accurate collation, storage, and dissemination of data. The NCAA is now a more visible entity and the level of interactions being had with the general flying public on social and traditional media is commendable.
Among other major achievements, Najomo has ensured that the process of licensing operators is seamless. Processes that used to take longer time now takes two to three months to complete. Najomo’s mantra is, EASE OF DOING BUSINESS WITHOUT COMPROMISING STANDARDS.
Since Najomo came on board, he has cleared the backlog of allowances owed to the staff. This has created a better working environment and more productive workforce. He has proved that he has knowledge of administration and motivation.
