REPS PROMISE TO ENSURE SAFE AIRSPACE
The House of Representatives Committee on Aviation Technology has promised to put in place measures to prevent air crashes in Nigeria.
The Chairman of the committee, Abiodun Akinlade, said this at the inaugural meeting of the committee in Abuja on Thursday.
He said the committee was concerned about frequent air crashes in the country, adding that it would do everything within its power to curb it.
“We will, with the support of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), the regulatory authorities, organise a high-tech town hall meeting to look into the causes of the air crashes.
“We will also look at other safety abnormalities at our airports. Our airspace must be safe for all,” he said.
He assured that there would be no failure in meeting the expectations of the House, Nigerians and stakeholders.
Akinlade said the committee would engage with relevant stakeholders to ensure the evolution of a highly innovative and productive aviation industry in Nigeria.
