Keyamo and Air Force Chief Enhance Aviation Safety Partnership

Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, and Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, the Chief of Air Staff, have initiated a partnership aimed at enhancing aviation safety and collaboration between the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). This agreement was established during Keyamo's condolence visit to Aneke after a tragic NAF aircraft incident in Igbokoda, Ondo state.

Keyamo expressed his condolences, describing the incident as a national tragedy and emphasized the importance of cooperation between military and civilian aviation sectors. He noted that both sectors serve the same country and are affected by aviation disasters.

Keyamo proposed the formation of a joint committee to facilitate collaboration in airworthiness, certification, and training. He assured that NAF personnel would have access to training opportunities provided by civil aviation authorities.

The partnership aims to create a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge for the safety of Nigerians.
