Executive summary on the procurement of NCAA operational vehicles
“The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority,
NCAA, is the statutory regulator of the Nigeria Civil Aviation
Industry.
Consequently,
the NCAA is charged with oversight responsibilities over all civil
aviation operations in the country, including safety, security and
strict compliance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, SARPs,
and Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, NCARs.
2. Towards the
effective implementation of its statutory regulatory responsibilities,
therefore, it is imperative that the NCAA is fully equipped with highly
specialised tools and facilities, including adequate operational
vehicles to cover all 22 national airports and over 400 airstrips. In
keeping with standard practice, provision is therefore made annually for
the replacement of obsolete, inadequate & unreliable monitoring
equipment.
