Nigerian Int’l Airports’ Lack Of Certification Responsible For Poor ICAO’s Audit

The five globally recognised international airports in Nigeria are currently not certified, thereby, making it difficult for the airports to maintain standards and competence in operation.

To obtain a certificate, an airport must agree to certain operational and safety standards and provide for such things as firefighting and rescue equipment. “There is no need for me to sign airport certification when I know our airports do not meet the requirements. That will be more disastrous for Nigeria and there is also what you call the Significant Safety Concern . ICAO issues that to some states, it means the oversight function of a state is fundamental fraud. We did not get an SSC. There are things that people should be aware of.

“You give certification for three years and it expires. Unfortunately, the airport operator for many reasons has challenges and they could not meet the requirements for certification. It is worrisome, but we are working with them and the point you raised, certification of some airports has been going on for longer than necessary, but the NCAA cannot give certification when you don’t meet the requirements.
