The Federal Government, Tuesday, appointed the Director of Aerodrome Services, Mr. Joyce
Nkemakolam, as the acting Director General of Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
Nkemakonam is the most senior officer of the agency, following the removal of the former Director General of the agency, Dr. Harold Demuren, by the government.
This was even as stakeholders in the aviation industry yesterday flayed the Federal Government for sacking Dr Demuren, saying the excuses provided for sacking him were ‘’flimsy.’’
The stakeholders further said the Federal Government was wrong to have sacked Dr. Demuren, describing the action as being politically motivated.
Most of the stakeholders who spoke with Vanguard on the issue, were not happy over the decision to sack Demuren, as they contended that he deserved better treatment instead of being humiliated.
