Nigerian Government Proposes Raising Air Traffic Controllers' Retirement Age to 65
The Nigerian government, led by Minister Festus Keyamo, aims to raise the retirement age for air traffic controllers to 65 to leverage experienced personnel and bridge the manpower gap. This move was announced during the 54th Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Air Traffic Control Association (NATCA) in Abuja.
The initiative seeks to ensure the effective functioning of air traffic control services amidst a decline in the workforce and a growing need for skilled professionals. The proposal aligns with international standards and aims to enhance safety and efficiency in Nigeria's aviation sector.
