The Senate on Thursday, confirmed the appointment of Capt. Chris Ona Najomo as substantive Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

Najomo’s confirmation followed the adoption of reports of the Senate Committee on Aviation at plenary.

The chairman of the committee, Sen. Buhari Abdulfatai, while presenting the report, said the committee screened the nominee, and found him suitable for the appointment.

“This is due to his vast experience and outstanding contributions in the aviation industry,” he said.

The senate thereafter confirmed the nomination of Najomo as Director General of NCAA.

Najomo has been acting since December 2023 following the suspension of the former DG, Capt. Musa Nuhu. 

His name was sent to the Senate after the tenure of the former DG elapsed.
