Those affected by the purge are – Alhaji Salawu Ozigi (Director of Finance and Accounts), Dr. Joyce Nkemakolam (Director of Aerodrome and Airspace Standards), Barr. Aba Ejembi (Director of Administration) and Emmanuel Ogunbami (Director of Licensing).

Others are – Engr. Benedict Adeyileka (Director of Airworthiness), Justus Wariya (Director of Air Transport Regulation), Alhaji Adamu Abdullahi (Director of Consumer Protection), Capt. Ayodele Sasegbon (Director of General Aviation) and Austin-Amadi Ifeanyi (Director of Human Resources).

The affected directors were immediately ordered to handover to the next in command in their various directorates who will in the interim take charge of activities in their directorates.

 The General Manager, Public Affairs, NCAA,  Sam Adurogboye, confirmed the development, but declined to give more information on the matter.

He simply replied that he was aware of the directors’ sack, adding that they were all political appointees.

“It is true that all the directors have been disengaged, but I don’t have details of their disengagement,” he said.
