Information at the disposal of Olufamous.com indicates that there is serious trouble at the National Civil Aviation Authority's over the avoidable lose of over 160 lives in the ill-fated Dana Air’s McDonnell Douglas - MD-83 - jet, which crashed on Sunday in Lagos.
Insiders told Olufamous.com that there is so much inefficiency at the NCAA's department of Air Worthiness and Safety Standards headed by one Patrick Ekunwen and that such could be said to be responsible for the "death-traps flying on our skies". (see another picture below)
It was further learnt that the 'air worthiness certificate' of this same aircraft, which many Nigerians have had negative experiences travelling with, was only signed last month by officials in the Air Worthiness and Safety Standards office.
So, the question is, who are those officials in Patrick Ekunwen's office who turned blind eyes to the obvious challenges of the MD-83 jet, leading to the death of our country men and women?
How are we (Nigerians) sure that most of these people working at the NCAA have the prerequisite qualifications to even go near an airport facility? Could it be that political patronage have also crept into this highly-technical sector? Will the recovered black box help out?
Too many questions begging for answers....Which way Nigeria!!
Olu good job you are doing, I hope heads will roll in this episode of disaster against Nigeria. Too much corruption everywhere.

ReplyDeleteNa political godfathers and corrupt public officials dey kill our country. Kalu
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see things like this happening,the issue is not about the qualification of the people but the corrupt environment that allows money bags to get away with murder.
ReplyDeleteIn a society where ill gotten money is celebrated over quality and diligence things like this will continue to happen. if truth be told i do not thing that any of the locally operated aircrafts are airworthy.
It is a shame that a man will carelessly handle a blackbox that hold the clue to the crash like that, that thing should be secured and tightly guarded,i will not be surprise if they come back and declare that the box is missing. In Nigeria where money talks anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteAre most Nigerians so poor that they cannot stop the Indians and Lebanese from running major businesses without checks and balances. Goodluck has turned to Badluck. Let this man go.
