The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has sent packing all the Directors of Parastatals under the ministry with immediate effect.
This follows the sacking of the Chief Executive Officers of the parastatals Wednesday night by President Bola Tinubu, who also made immediate replacement of all of them.
The parastatals affected include: Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET), Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), and Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
A statement ostensibly authorized by the Minister, Thursday, however excluded the agencies’ Board Secretaries and Legal Advisers from vacating office.
The statement sacking the directors which was signed by the Ministry’s Head of Press and Public Affairs, Odutayo Oluseyi, stated: “I am directed to inform all DIRECTORS of the following agencies that they have been relieved of their appointments forthwith and should hand over to the most senior officer in their various directorates with immediate effect.
“The Directors of the affected agencies are as follows:
• Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
• Nigeria Metrological Agency (NiMET)
• Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)
• Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA)
• Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau (NSIB)”
