Anxiety is beginning to build up in Nigeria's aviation industry as authorities await if the nation will pass the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Category One Aviation status as the apex American aviation regulatory body is set to pass its verdict.

While some are pessimistic about the country scaling the huddle, others are of the view that Nigeria has done well to deserve category one.

Excerpt from New Telegraph:

The FAA team leader, Mr Andre Lamarre, who led a threeman team comprising of Mr Michael Jennisin and Mr James Plasman, had last June, while visiting the Acting Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Benedict Adeliyeka, in Lagos, said that the most important thing to the FAA then, was the sustenance of a robust oversight of the industry and strict enforcement of compliance to safety regulation by NCAA.

According to a top official of the agency, who spoke to New Telegraph on condition of anonymity, the only area left when the FAA visited was the recurrent training, which he said could be regarded as a closure since the NCAA has signed contracts for recurrences with various simulator organisations. Nigeria was four years ago awarded category one, which shows that the country complied with all known global aviation regulations in line with the provision of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
