Which tyres the plane take land?

Honestly, what is the JOB of NCAA, why are our planes having maintenance issues?

Two weeks ago, we remembered about an aircraft that flew with one engine all the way to Lagos, on Monday, another one crashed and this now? The DG of NCAA should be relieved of his duties immediately, all aircraft in in all airline fleet should be grounded for thorough inspection, and re-certified
