The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has denied reports that Ghana manages the airspace of Nigeria over the Gulf of Guinea.

According to the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Ghana only manages the airspace of Togo and Benin.

The latest development follows reports that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Ministry of Aviation in Nigeria to take over from Ghana, the management of the Nigerian airspace in the Gulf of Guinea.

He is reported to have given the directive at the State House in Abuja last week while receiving a briefing from top officials of the ministry led by Permanent Secretary Hajiya Binta Bello.

The permanent secretary later told State House journalists that Buhari ordered her ministry to begin the process of securing the management of the Nigerian airspace which, she noted, Ghana had been managing since 1945.

The permanent secretary hinted that Togo and Benin Republic had equally concluded arrangements to take over their airspaces from Ghana.

“We’ve a directive by the president to start the process of securing the management of the Nigerian airspace over the Gulf of Guinea which Ghana has been maintaining since 1945, and there is a move on the ground by Togo and Republic of Benin to take over their own airspace from Ghana,” she said.

But the Deputy Director-General Finance and Administration of Ghana Civil Aviation Authority Abdullai Alhassan told Citi Business News the reports are untrue.

According to him, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has sent a delegation to Nigeria to ascertain the truth concerning President Muhammadu Buhari's order to Nigeria’s Ministry of Aviation to take over the security of the nation’s airspace over the Gulf of Guinea from Ghana.

In an interview with Citi Business News, Abdullai Alhassan said, “at the international civil aviation level they have sent the regional director to go to Nigeria to find out exactly what they mean because Ghana is not managing the airspace of Nigeria. Unlike Togo and Benin where we manage their airspace, we do not know about the management of Nigeria’s airspace.”. http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Ghana-does-not-manage-Nigeria-s-airspace-GCAA-374488

International lies! It is one thing to run the show in house and pull some wool over the eyes of some citizens but when it's beyond borders our leaders need to be careful! See how the story of speaking to the King of Morocco snowballed into some diplomatic fiasco but for quick interventions. Hmm!

INTROVERT:

Are you surprised? same way one Nigerian firm claimed to be printing Ghana cedi. Shame on Buhari as well for not being diligent, considering the fact that, he has been a head of state before and such lies should have been detected. So the NSA and other security apparutus could not have googled this?

A govt built on lies and propaganda ..Our image is being ridiculed by small small local countries because of gaffes by unprepared saddlers of this country.


Femi Adesina, Oya find one lie and package for your gullible supporters cos Ghanaians ain't dull.

Maybe Buhari was referring to another country, like west germany blunder.

am not surprised at all Bro. They always find innovative ways of bringing up their shit. They have released a lot of rubbish articles about Ghana. If we were to sue the people in concern for such statements. Maybe they will learn.

Who do we believe these days?

So if Ghana says they were not running the Nigerian airspace. Does that mean that Nigeria has been on auto pilot

I think Buhari needs to form his Cabinets fast! All these embarrassments coming from Perm. Secs are beginning to be unbecoming! Perm. Secs are civil servants. They just answer 'yes' to the government of the day!

it's a very expensive joke they just pulled up. And for them to be clueless about such a delicate matter. Then it calls for questioning as to what has even going on over the years.
