The Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development has announced the appointment of new directors for five agencies under the ministry following the sacking of some of the directors last week.
The agencies are: the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN); Nigeria Metrological Agency (NiMET); Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA); Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and Nigeria Safety and Investigation Bureau (NSIB).

The government made the announcement in a statement signed by the Head, Press and Public Affairs, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Odutayo Oluseyi on Thursday, December 21, in Abuja.
