A former Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren has identified the importance of a stable legal and regulatory framework as a panacea to aviation growth in Nigeria.

This is just as the CEO of Top Brass Aviation, Captain Roland Iyayi, has identified the fragmented market as responsible for disruptive competition in the country’s aviation sector.

Demuren gave the advise while presenting his paper; ‘Boosting Aviation Investment Though Policy: Government Perspective,’ at the 2019 aviation conference in Lagos.

Demuren though argued that Nigerian aviation had never been bereft of policies but lamented the summersault of such policies whenever new ministers are appointed just as he called on the government to implement key performance indexes among the civil servants.

Iyayi during his own presentation at the conference challenged the NCAA for focusing consistently on safety to the extent that the airline business became over-regulated.

For the Chief executive Officer, African Aviation Services, Mr. Nick Fadugba, during his presentation on ‘Vision 2030 for Nigerian Aviation’, he explained that aviation can be a vital catalyst for Africa’s economic growth and social advancement.

While saying that Africa needs a safe, reliable, efficient and portable air transport industry that facilitates business, trade, and tourism across the continent and between Africa and world, Fadugba called for improvement in the areas of challenges confronting the sector which he identified as; aviation safety, security, training, regulatory oversight, infrastructure, liberalization, modernisation, funding, efficiency, affordability and profitability.
