“This categorisation is dependent on the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which tracks the SSP implementation process of member-states via its Integrated Safety Trend Analysis and Reporting System (iSTARS).

“Member states in tandem, therefore, deploy this platform to undertake Gap Analysis, define their action plans and benchmark their progress.

“Only two member states-Australia and Sri Lanka- have achieved full implementation of the SSP according to ICAO records.

Nigeria is striving to achieve Level Four, which is 100 per cent by the end 0f 2017,” it said.
