The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority is enhancing its safety oversight measures as the draft State Safety Programme document nears completion.

The State Safety Programme is an integrated set of regulations and activities aimed at improving safety in civil aviation. It is required by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and is unique to each member state.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the agency.

The SSP ensures the effectiveness of safety performance elements and addresses identified aviation safety risks.

As part of the process to develop the SSP for Nigeria, the NCAA is hosting the ICAO-West and Central Africa Regional Office of the African and Indian Ocean Region Plan-State Safety Programme for Assistant Mission to Nigeria.

The Director-General, Civil Aviation, Nigeria, Capt. Chris Najomo, in his welcome address, said Nigeria will soon produce a draft document of the SSP and NSP.

“The document has gone through some of the processes that are required. We have sent out the document to stakeholders for input, and we have feedback,” he stated.
