NCAA appoints ZILCOTECH for the monitoring of illegal high structures
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has appointed Zilcotech International Limited as a consultant for the monitoring of illegal erection of high structures nationwide.
The NCAA General Manager of Public Relation, Mr Sam Adurogboye, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to him, the move is in line with section 35(h) of the Civil Aviation Act 2022; and Parts 12.1.7.1.3.1, 12.1.7.1.2 (2) and 12.1.7.1.6 of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations, (Nig.CARS) 2015.
“Zilcotech engagement is sequel to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approval dated 17th November, 2022 and the agreement signed on Dec. 22, 2021 between the Authority and the firm.
“Consequently, a letter of introduction has been sent out to all the concerned operators and stakeholders in the industry.
“We are confident that this collaboration will be beneficial to all stakeholders and the public at large as it concerns the enhancement of safety within the navigable airspace of Nigeria,” he said.
The general manager urged concerned stakeholders to cooperate with the consultant in the interest of safer skies.
He said all payments accruing to the Authority on account of the attendant services were to be made directly to NCAA and not to the consultant.
He said NCAA would continue to ensure strict compliance to safety regulations, adding that violations would be viewed seriously.
