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 deeper collaboration between the Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) focused on aviation safety, airworthiness, certification, training, and capacity building. This agreement was established during Keyamo's condolence visit to Aneke in Abuja after a tragic aircraft incident involving the Nigerian Air Force in Igbokoda, Ondo state.

Keyamo expressed his condolences, describing the incident as a national tragedy and commending the sacrifices made by Air Force personnel. He emphasized the need for cooperation between military and civilian aviation sectors, noting that both serve the same country and protect its citizens.

Keyamo has already facilitated communication between the NCAA leadership and the Chief of Air Staff to expand their existing relationship into a more structured partnership. Air Marshal Sunday Aneke acknowledged Keyamo's gesture as a sign of the strong relationship developing between the two sectors.
