President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, suspended Musa Nuhu,
the director general of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
Nuhu was suspended and replaced by Chris Najomo as the
acting DG.
According to Ngelale, Nuhu was suspended to enable the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate his activities
as DG.
The investigation will also include the activities of other NCAA senior officials.
“Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA), Capt. Musa Shuaibu Nuhu has been suspended from office to enable the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to conduct an unfettered
investigation into the activities of the suspended director-general and other
senior officials in the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority,” Ngelale said.
“Chris Najomo assumes office as the Acting Director-General
of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority immediately.”
Ngelale said Tinubu also directed Festus Keyamo, minister of
aviation and aerospace development to recruit a substantive vice-chancellor and
other principal officers of the African Aviation and Aerospace University
(AAAU).
The president said he is confident that the new leadership
across the critical sector will uphold the safety, convenience, and comfort of
the Nigerian people as primary in their administrative activities.
Tinubu had earlier sacked Kabir Mohammed as the managing
director (MD) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
Tayib Odunowo, the MD of the Nigerian Airspace Management
Agency (NAMA), was also sacked by the president.
