Senate and House of Representatives committees on Aviation and Aviation Technology have resolved to organise a summit on aviation to address challenges and unwholesome practices.
House Committee Chair on Aviation Technology, Abiodun Akinlade, said the summit will address concerns to ensure operators comply and operate with global standards.
He said Nigerian air space must be safe to fly as welfare and safety of citizens are of concern to the committees.
We will not tolerate cutting costs at the expense of endangering lives,” he said.
Akinlade noted the summit will discuss loopholes in the laws to strengthen the industry and ensure conformity with international standards.
He noted the committees will ensure laws are made and amendments to address challenges comply with.
Akinlade said on resumption of legislative activities, both committees would probe industry issues, request audit reports on airlines and from safety investigation bureaus.
He stressed aviation business is critical and must prioritise welfare.
