Taking a proactive stance towards enhancing aviation safety and operational standards, the Acting Director General of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo has inaugurated a Project and Evaluation Committee to monitor compliance and ensure that management’s standards and specifications are met.
Capt. Najomo, who inaugurated the committee on Monday, April 29, 2024 at the authority’s corporate headquarters, in Abuja, emphasized the importance of the reconstitution especially after the creation of the Directorate of Special Duties and the establishment of a Project Monitoring and Contract Evaluation Unit within the Directorate.
He noted that project monitoring does not only entail planning and execution but also diligent supervision and continuous monitoring and evaluation towards achieving specific goals.
The Ag. DGCA said the 10-man committee was first constituted in 2021, and its reconstitution demonstrates NCAA Management’s collective dedication to transparency, accountability, and value for resources.

Najomo who reiterated that the project monitoring and contract evaluation team is not responsible for contract award or negotiation tasked them to be the lens through which projects in NCAA will be viewed to ensure strict compliance with the Authority’s Service Level Agreements, compliance with extant laws and regulations, identify potential risks and liabilities, ensure value for money, as well as proffer recommendations to guide Management’s decision-making in project delivery.
While admitting that the task ahead of the committee is enormous, considering their primary assignments in the NCAA, he urged members of the committee to see themselves as agents of change in line with the NCAA Project 2024 and beyond, assuring members of his support in the discharge of their responsibilities.
The committee, which was chaired by the Director of Special Duties, Mr. Horatius Egua, has members drawn from Directorates/Departments of Finance, Legal Services, Information and Communication Technology, Aerodrome and Airspace Standards, Procurement and Human Resources and Administration.
