We are pleased to share a remarkable moment for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) as its Director General, Capt Chris Ona Najomo⁩, was recently conferred a prestigious Fellowship Award from the Nigerian Institution of Safety Engineers (NISafetyE) by its National Chairman, Engr Seun Faluyi, FNSE, FNISafetyE. This recognition is not just an individual honor but a testament to the NCAA’s commitment to advancing safety, professionalism, and regulatory excellence in the aviation sector.

A key highlight of this award is the growing strategic relationship between the NSE and regulatory bodies like the NCAA, particularly through the NSE’s Safety Division, NISafetyE. Public safety is a fundamental responsibility of governments, and fostering closer collaboration between regulatory agencies and professional engineers specializing in safety is a win-win for all stakeholders. Such partnerships enhance the development and enforcement of best practices, ensuring that safety remains a top priority across industries.

Strategic collaborations such as this ensure that expertise, regulation, and practice are aligned for the greater good. The partnership between NCAA and NISafetyE underscores the shared commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge exchange, and best-in-class safety standards in aviation and beyond.

Congratulations to the NCAA, its Director General and its staff on this well-deserved recognition! This recognition underscores the NCAA’s unwavering dedication to upholding the highest safety standards in aviation. We look forward to even stronger collaboration between the NCAA, the NSE and the NISafetyE in the pursuit of excellence and public safety.
