NCAA ‘should ensure high standard’ in aviation
Ogun State governorship candidate of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Amb. Olufemi Ajadi, has attributed challenges encountered by passengers during flights to poor maintenance capacity of airlines.
Describing the situation as primitive, he urged Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and other agencies to do right in ensuring high standard and better aircraft.
Ajadi called for sanctions against airline that failed to keep to schedule, as well as those selling tickets in dollars instead of naira.
The candidate, in a statement, said most airlines were operating with obsolete planes, stressing the industry, especially those running local businesses, should be monitored and sanctioned.
“If government sanctions erring operators, they will wake up to their responsibility.
“The airlines I have boarded in recent times have turned passengers to prayer warriors, as the aircraft jerk in a worrisome manner.
“Besides operating obsolete aircraft, departure and arrival halls are not conducive.
“I advise NCAA to save Nigerians from avoidable acts by airlines
