The Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Musa Nuhu, has tasked aviation stakeholders not to relax in improving aviation safety.
Nuhu said this at the weekend while delivering a keynote at the conference on prevention of human factors in air accident occurrences organised by the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) in partnership with the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC).

He noted that the industry only recorded one serious incident with fatalities in the last five years with the Quorum Helicopter crash of 2020 which killed three crew members on board.
He said the feat was made possible through the synergy of all stakeholders.
He said, “We do not want to get it wrong and we do not want to have blood on our hands. The primary responsibility of the NCAA is public safety and this is what we must assure through our safety oversight and shared responsibilities with the certified entities and licensed personnel.”
Commissioner of AIB, Engr. Akin Olateru, stressed that aviation remains the safest means of transportation.
Chairman of LAAC, Mr. Olusegun Koiki, stressed the need for continued focus on human factors in air accident investigation since it plays a crucial role in safety in the global aviation sector as it would reduce the rate of accidents.
