Onyema seeks upward review of salaries of NCAA staff

Oct. 27, 2021

Mr. Allen Onyema, Chairman of Air Peace has called for an upward review of salaries of staff of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

This is contained in a statement issued by Spokesperson of the airline, Mr. Stanley Olisa, on Wednesday.

“Their salaries should be upwardly reviewed to match the airlines’ salary structure, as nobody wants to go there to work but they (current staff) are doing their best, which is very commendable. This is a patriotic call”, the aviation Onyema affirmed.

According to the statement, Onyema made the call at the 2021 Brazil-Nigeria Aviation and Defence Trade Forum 2021 organised by the Embassy of Brazil in Abuja.

“The salary review is needed for the aviation regulatory body to attract and retain the best talents with the requisite experience and qualifications to discharge their oversight responsibilities creditably.

“The agency is not able to poach top talents in the industry because its salary structure leaves much to be desired,” he said, adding that the Federal Government should remove the NCAA from the civil service salary structure.
