Keyamo and Air Chief Enhance Aviation Safety Collaboration

Following a tragic aircraft crash involving the Nigerian Air Force in Igbokoda, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, have agreed to strengthen cooperation between Nigeria's civil and military aviation authorities. This agreement was reached during Keyamo's condolence visit to Aneke, where they discussed plans to enhance safety collaboration.

Keyamo emphasized the need for knowledge sharing and cooperation, noting that accidents affect both sectors and that the Air Force utilizes parts of the civil aviation infrastructure. A joint committee involving the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) will be established to promote cooperation in airworthiness, certification, and training.

Keyamo also offered Air Force personnel access to civil aviation training programs, highlighting the mutual benefits of this partnership. Aneke expressed gratitude for Keyamo's support, marking a significant step in the relationship between the two aviation sectors.
