United Nations (UN) International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) boss, Dr. Olumuyiwa Aliu, at
the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, as the ICAO leader
rounds off his one week official visit to Nigeria.
The ICAO President had in the course of the tour
held talks with the Transport Minister, Rotimi
Amaechi, whose ministry oversees the aviation
sector as well as top officials of the Foreign
Affairs Ministry. Olumuyiwa, a Nigerian, began
his visit to the country last Wednesday during
which he inspected a number of aviation-related
projects and facilities.
Meanwhile, the visiting ICAO president has
stressed the need for aviation agencies in the
country to imbibe the development of human
capacity building.
Speaking while addressing union members from
Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association
of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and National Union of Air
Transport Employees (NUATE) and heads of
aviation parastatals in Abuja, Aliu said there was
need for constant training to match the pace of
technological development.
According to Dr Aliu, with all the facilities and
navigational aids in place without a trained
workforce, there will be no development.
