National Assembly to organise summit on aviation sector
Rep. Abiodun Akinlade, chairman, House committee on aviation technology, says the National Assembly plans to organise a national summit on the aviation industry to investigate suspected sharp practices in the industry.
Mr Akinlade said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
“The Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Aviation and Aviation Technology have resolved to organise a National Summit on the Aviation Industry.
“Relevant and critical stakeholders in the aviation industry within and outside the country are expected to participate in the proposed National Summit to make inputs that would make Nigeria’s airspace safe for all,” he said.
He said that the summit would address challenges in the aviation sector to proffer solutions to them.
He urged airline operators not to play kites with the lives of the citizenry, adding that the aviation business remained a critical industry.
“We will not tolerate the idea of cutting costs at the expense of endangering passengers lives,” he said.
He said the sector must prioritise the welfare of passengers above all other considerations.
