Alert on the going on in Aviation

Kola Animasaun's Voice of Reason this Sunday called attention to the supposed reorganisation going on in the beleagured Nigerian aviation. He particularly made mention of Babalola's appointment of Harold Olusegun Demuren, as the director-general of NCAA. Demuren was a senior officer of the scraped FCAA and and also the owner of Afrijet Airlines, a mostly air cargo company. This obvious conflict of interest mysteriously escaped Babalola and so now we have this.


"The NCAA boss, who was until his appointment the managing director of Afrijet Airlines, reportedly grounded the aircraft on grounds of safety.But Mr. Ibidapo alleged that the grounding was borne out of the need to favour Afrijet Airlines for continuation of the airlift.According to him, the grounded aircraft had successfully airlifted pilgrims shortly before the new NCAA boss assumed duty."


I couldn't agree more with Animasaun that Obasanjo should seek second opinion. Demuren with his three directorate solution is definitely wrong for the job. This impending tragedy must be rectify before its too late.
