The Federal Government has ordered all aviation agencies to relocate their headquarters to Abuja within 45 days.
The Ministry of Aviation officials confirmed this on Friday, adding that the directive only involves four of the ministry’s agencies, as two other key parastatals have their headquarters in Abuja and Kaduna.
Currently, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Accident Investigation Bureau and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency have their headquarters in Lagos. The letter read in part, ”I am directed to remind you of a Presidential directive issued in 2012 requesting all the agencies under the Ministry of Aviation to relocate their corporate headquarters to the Federal Capital Territory for efficient and effective coordination and enhanced service delivery and note that eight years after the directive, the agencies are yet to comply.”
A senior official at the aviation ministry confirmed the letter and latest directive to our correspondent in Abuja, adding that the order had been issued earlier.The source said, “It is true, but it is not new per se. Initial directive was given in 2008, another in 2012 which were not implemented.”
