The President of Aviation Round Table, ART, Gbenga Olowo, has expressed optimism that Nigeria would sail through the forthcoming audit of the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO.
The ART Boss, however, was not sure if the country will be able to sustain the high standards in the sector be rated high by other aviation authorities after the ICAO audit.
Olowo, who spoke in an interview, said that it was important for any aviation country around the world to have regular audit conducted, stressing that this would further enhance safety and standards in the sector.
The industry expert also called for enforcement of all recommendations of ICAO by respective authorities.
He said: “We have a way of passing exams in this country. But, after passing the exams, what do we do? Are our toilet facilities meeting international standards and other equipment.”
“It’s important to have regular audits and sustenance is also important. I expect to see better services after the audit, better behavior and change of attitude from our people. Also, I want to see them improve passengers’ processes. At present, we have too many checkpoints in our airports. I want to see most of them reduced,” Olowo added.
