The Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Capt. Chris Najomo, has announced the approval of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Staff Conditions of Service (CoS), calling on staff to demonstrate renewed commitment to duty to ensure aviation in Nigeria remains safe, secure, economically viable, and passenger-friendly.
Capt. Najomo made this announcement on Friday, January 2, 2026, during the annual NCAA New Year Prayer Session held at its Lagos Regional Office.
Capt. Najomo thanked the staff for their deep commitment in the outgoing year in bringing to fruition NCAA’s vision and mission, the five-point agenda of the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, and Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda for the aviation sector.
Minister Keyamo’s five-point agenda focuses on advancing safety, developing infrastructure, supporting local operators, building human capacity, and enhancing revenue generation in the aviation sector.
He highlighted some of the critical issues inherited and expeditiously resolved by this administration, including the long-standing debacle of staff stagnation on Grade Level 14; housing and relocation allowance arrears; and commissioning of the abandoned Port Harcourt and Kano Regional Offices.
Others are the development of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP) in collaboration with ICAO; launching of the Consumer Protection portal and Phase 1 of the DATR e-portal; and the commissioning of the Flight Data Centre in Abuja to enhance aviation safety, regulatory compliance, and global credibility in Nigeria; among others.
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP), developed with ICAO support, serves as a comprehensive roadmap for short-, medium-, and long-term growth, aligning closely with Minister Keyamo’s five-point agenda to position Nigeria as a leading aviation hub in Africa.
While praying for an inspiring and prosperous year ahead, Capt. Najomo charged the staff to rededicate themselves to excellence in service delivery.
