Najomo tasks newly-recruited Aviation Safety Inspectors on ethical standards

The  Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Captain Chris Najomo, has tasked  newly-employed Aviation Safety Inspectors and Technical Personnel on professionalism and high ethical standards.

Describing them as ambassadors of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the DGCA cautioned the new officers against unacceptable practices such as withholding manuals over minor typographical errors, noting that such misconduct would not be tolerated under his watch.

He gave this charge in Lagos on Thursday, April 30, 2026, outlining the comprehensive training roadmap beginning with the FSG Indoctrination Course and structured On-the-Job Training (OJT), which will qualify them as Principal Operations Inspectors, Cabin Safety Inspectors, Ground Operations Inspectors, and Licensing Inspectors.

While urging the new inspectors to see their recruitment as a rare privilege, Captain Najomo, however, assured them of improved welfare packages.

Present at the meeting were the Director, Operations, Licensing and Training Standards (DOLTS), Captain Don Spiff, and the Regional Manager, NCAA Lagos Office, Barr. (Mrs) Olubukola Teriba, both of whom commended the DGCA for fostering an enabling work environment, and admonished the new Inspectors and Technical Personnel to approach their duties with the seriousness and integrity the role demands.
