ABUJA: The Federal Government, through the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit, has urged the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to revisit a draft policy proposing stricter sanctions on airlines for the increasing number of flight delays and cancellations across the country.
The Special Adviser to the President on Policy and Coordination and head of the CRDCU, Hadiza Bala-Usman, made this recommendation during a performance assessment meeting held at the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development in Abuja on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
The meeting was part of the ongoing review of the Q1–Q3 2024 Performance Assessment Report on the implementation of Presidential Priorities and Ministerial Deliverables.
Details of the meeting were shared in a post on the CRDCU’s X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday.
Bala-Usman emphasised the need for stronger measures to safeguard passengers from the inconveniences and financial losses caused by frequent flight disruptions.
She highlighted shortcomings in the Ministry’s stakeholder and customer engagement processes, noting that incomplete data on service delivery and complaints resolution hindered an accurate, independent assessment of progress.
