ICAO Audit Certifies Nigeria’s Airspace

The International Civil Aviation Organisation has listed Nigeria among 14 countries in Africa that has achieved effective air safety implementation, above the global average of 61 percent.

 This rating is contained in the ICAO 2013 Safety Report, compiled by ICAO auditors who investigated the compliance with stipulated International safety standards by individual countries across the world, especially its 200 member countries.

 The ICAO 2013 Safety Report lends credence to the Category I certification granted Nigeria in 2011 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States, for meeting stipulated international standards and practices on safety and security.
