The International Civil Aviation Organisation has listed Nigeria as
one of the 14 countries in Africa that have achieved effective air
safety implementation.
This was contained in a statement issued by Yakubu Dati, the General
Manager, Corporate Communications of the Federal Airport Authority of
Nigeria, on Wednesday in Lagos.
Dati said in the statement that the achievement was in line with air
safety implementation above the global average of 61 per cent.
According to him, the rating was contained in the ICAO 2013 Safety
Report, compiled by the organisation’s auditors.
“The auditors investigated the compliance with stipulated
International safety standards by individual countries across the
world, especially its 200-member countries,” he said.

certification granted Nigeria in 2011 by the Federal Aviation
Administration of the United States.
According to him, the granting of the certificate was for meeting
stipulated international standards and practices on safety and
security.

world class provider of safe, secure and comfortable air transport
sector that is self sustaining and pivotal to socioeconomic growth.
