I refuse to be distracted – NCAA boss vows

• Says staff welfare is his top priority

From Sola Ojo, Abuja

The Acting Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Capt. Chris Najomo has vowed never to be distracted by the campaign of calumny launched against his person, saying staff welfare remains his priority.

He further added that he was determined to provide a conducive working environment and set the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority on the growth path.

The Ag. DGCA made this commitment recently during an unscheduled tour of office facilities at the Authority’s Headquarters in Abuja, a post on the Authority’s X handle @NigeriaCAA indicated.

Some of the areas inspected include the offices of the directors and the staff pool offices to have first-hand feedback from members of the staff.

The dominant complaints expressed by staff revolved around inadequate office accommodation and inadequate working tools like computers, printers, scanners and photocopiers.

Najomo then told the staff that more office equipment would be provided, including building another office complex which would include a staff clinic, canteen, and creche.

“You will get what you need. You are getting it already. People who were stagnated, I have promoted and their arrears paid. This is what some people don’t want. As you cooperate with me, I will cooperate with you.

“I have only been the Ag. DG for six months but you have seen all the achievements. Don’t be downcast. The training and retraining will go on. The infrastructure will go on and so much more.

“You have seen what has been happening lately, but, one thing is certain, it is only God that promotes. In the last month, I have seen all manner of petitions to distract me but I will not be distracted. I will do what is right to keep NCAA running”, he assured.
