The Honourable Minister of State for Aviation,
Senator Hadi Sirika has directed an immediate
investigation into the use of an unauthorized
equipment by Aero Contractors Airlines at the
conclusion of a charter flight to Bauchi over
the weekend.
Several reports received by the Honourable
Minister have indicated the airline used a
ladder to disembark passengers from a Boeing
737 aircraft at the Bauchi airport on Saturday
December 19th 2015.
According to the Minister, the act is
inconsistent with Nigeria Civil Aviation
Regulations (NCARs) and International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and
Recommended Practices (SARPS).
The investigation will determine the
immediate and remote causes of the incident
with a view to developing and implementing
measures that will prevent a reoccurrence of
the unsafe and unacceptable procedure that
exposed
passengers to high risk of serious injury.
He reiterated that if the airline is found
culpable, the full weight of sanctions within
extant laws and regulations would be applied
on it.
The Honourable Minister assures the traveling
public that the Ministry of Transportation in
collaboration with Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA) will ensure strict adherence
to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations as
well as ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices by all operators.
Sirika further states that the ministry will not
shriek in its responsibility to ensure a safe
and secure air transport services which he
views as sacrosanct.
Signed
James Odaudu
Deputy Director, Press and Public Affairs.

*Modified- I thought its the senate that wants to set up a committee but in the end I won't be suprised if they set up another


Use the committee to siphon money again

Right step by the Minister, I hope the investigations reaches a logical conclusion

I tire oo my country wit funny caracter

Baboo13:
You want to set up a probe panel because one airline used ladder


Something they can just direct the Aviation authorities to look into it



Must we set up panel for every and any single thing that happens in this country??

No were in the article that a probe panel was mentioned.What the minister said was investigation.

Change noni

.

That action is the worst embarrassment of the year 2015. The initiator of that wrong ingenuity did not think of the implication of such sordid act. Can they actually confirm that in Bauchi airport its only one motorized stair for passenger disembarking that they have, in this 21st century!. That was an eye-sore and a national embarrassment. I sincerely hope that appropriate deterrent action should be taken against any ensuing lapses/ laxity.

I think most of the blame should be on the regulatory agency NCAA

All the fans of Stealer Oduah, come and give reasons for this. Shebi she renovated all the airports.

What's there to even investigate? Aero used a ladder to disembark passengers plain and simple. If there are any penalties, Aero should be made to face it, and we all know should the investigation show Aero to be guilty, they might even walk away with just a slap on the wrist.

Yes, this is how we know a zombie, always waiting to feed on people's blood and yet their flesh decays away. Aren't you tired of being a zombie and a crawling BOT? Anyway, the broomers will be so happy. Other zombies should sign in.

Amaechi the transport minister should resign honourably or be sacked
this has become an international embarrassment.
Other countries are already making jest of us.



Kenya Nation TV mocks Nigeria over using ladder to board flight

This is better than the prophesied PLANE CRASH by the pastor.

It is not the job of Aero to disembark passengers but that of FAAN. The airlines pay FAN for this service so if it is not available they are to blame.

Sorry I meant NAHCO not FAAN.
