Airport workers give FG 14-day ultimatum to appoint NCAA DG
A copy of the ultimatum by the Deputy National Secretary of
the association, Mr Captain Tarnongu was obtained in Lagos on Sunday.
The ultimatum entitled: `Re-Demand for a Substantive
Director-General for NCAA' was addressed to the Secretary to the Federal
Government, Sen. Ayim Pius Ayim, dated July 24.
Tarnongu said in the letter that the ultimatum was given,
following the expiration of a previous one given to the government.
He said that the union was driven by deep patriotism and
commitment to contribute their quota to the transformation agenda of Mr President
in the aviation industry.
Tarnongu noted that the attention of the SFG was earlier
drawn to the leadership vacuum existing in the NCAA in a letter dated June 18.
``As stakeholders in the industry, we are aware of the
enormous responsibility of this authority as a chief regulator of standards and
custodian of safety in the industry.
``Thus, we are justifiably disturbed on the inability of
government to appoint a substantive DG for the NCAA.
``We are by this letter, giving notice of the extension of
our earlier 21-day ultimatum for another 14-days to lapse on August 12, by
which time we expect the government to expedite action to confirm a substantive
DG,'' he said.
Tarnongu noted that the union would be at liberty to deploy
any other legitimate means to press their demand if the current one failed.
