NAAPE tasks Buhari on actualisation of second Abuja Runway project, Nigeria Air
The President, National Association Of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) Engr. Abednego Galadima has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to use this term to actualize the realisation of second Abuja Runway project.
Speaking in Lagos on Thursday, on the occasion of the aviation stakeholders safety workshop which it organised with the theme: “Promoting Aviation Safety In Nigeria”, at the Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Galadima urged the President to actualise the suspended Nigeria Air and other laudable projects contained in the Aviation Roadmap document.
He stated that the workshop is aimed at interacting with the stakeholders on the evaluation index it intended to use in their ranking and awards.
galadima added that the workshop is also intended to serve as a platform for sensitisation and discussion on other pressing safety concerns in the industry.
NAAPE president expressed optimism that their engagement will bring about solutions to identify safety concerns and greater promotion of safety in the industry.
“Our assessments will focus more on the organisational factors. It is also instructive to note that our Selection and Ranking process will be coordinated by a board of eminent and impartial professionals from the aviation industry. The awards are not aimed at de-marketing any organisation but to motivate organisations to imbibe and entrench safety culture. Remember, safety is everyone’s business,” Galadima said.
In his remarks, the commissioner, of Accident Investigation, AIB, Engr. Akin Olateru observed that NAAPE’s focus on the welfare of aircraft pilots and engineers promotes total safety in the aviation industry in Nigeria and the world.
Olateru noted that the safety levels that the global air transport enjoys today represents an achievement built on the determination and efforts of the entire aviation community.
He maintained that considering the level of commitments made by the current administration to ensure a safe airspace for air transport users, the theme of this workshop; ‘Promoting Aviation Safety in Nigeria’ is relevant and appropriate.
The AIB Commissioner explained that for every flight, several possible hazards may be encountered during take-off, airborne or landing which include, but not limited to wind shear, Fire, Bird Strike, Human Factors, Controlled Flight into Terrain, runway safety Incidents , Runway excursion, runway overrun among others.
