Federal Government Appoints Acting DG For NCAA

The Federal Government, on monday sacked Dr Demuren and on Tuesday, appointed the Director of Aerodrome Services, Mr. Joyce Nkemakolam, as the acting Director General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA. Stakeholders of the Aviation industry expressed dismay for sacking Dr Demuren, saying the excuses provided for sacking him were ‘’flimsy.’’ and the Federal Government was wrong to have sacked  Dr. Demuren, describing  the action as being politically motivated. They were not happy over the decision to sack Demuren, as they contended that he deserved better treatment instead of being humiliated.  A few of them expressed their view over th governments decision which were mostly against the governments decision.
Capt. Dele Ore, President of Aviation Roundtable Nigeria said,

 "We kill and bury our heroes in this country. This is a man that the whole world has acknowledged as an achiever, this is one of our heroes, Dr Demuren needs the support of every Nigerian because he has done a very good job. I don’t know the offence he has committed. This is the greatest inhumanity of man to man,” 

Mohammed Tukur, Assistant Secretary General, Airlines Operators of Nigeria, AON, said the sack is very unfortunate.

“ Demuren has done a lot for the aviation industry in Nigeria. He has brought tremendous transformation into the aviation industry in the country, Those who orchestrated this are celebrating his sack but must know that governments come, and government go,”

 Sam Akerele, General Secretary, Aviation Round Table, the sack of Demuren came as a shock.

"His passion and contributions will be remembered by the nation. The Federal Government must have good reasons for the sack. Hopefully, it is not a power play,”

 Meanwhile the Federal Government has apointed Mr. Joyce Nkemakolam, as the acting Director General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.

Meanwhile a few rumored names have come up to take up the post of the DG of NCAA like Captain former NCAT rector Folashade Odutola, Dr Olumuyiwa Aliu a former top excutive of NCAA, Captain Kiddy Dare.
