Capt Donald Spiff, (R) Director of Operations, Licensing and Training Standards (DOLTS), distributed certificates to awarfees
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has issued Authorization Letters and Official Stamps to nine (9) Designated On-the-Job Training (OJT) Supervisors to strictly ensure that recommended standards and safety oversight obtain at all times no matter the circumstance.
Distribution of Authorization Letters and Official Stamps to the nine (9) supervisors took place over the weekend, Friday, 18th of September 2026 at the NCAA Examination Hall in Abuja.
Captain Donald Spiff, the Director of Operations, Licensing and Training Standards (DOLTS), while speaking on behalf of the Director General, Civil Aviation, DGCA, Capt Chris Najomo urged the recipients of the letter of authorization to be above board and live up to the ultra-high standard expected of them on safety in their various duty post.
Capt Najomo explained that the Nigerian aviation industry continues to grow rapidly, and with the growth comes an even greater responsibility to maintain the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and regulatory compliance hence, the appointees as ambassador of NCAA in their stations.
The DG urged the newly accredited and appointed OJT Supervisors to “discharge their responsibilities with integrity, diligence, fairness, and strict adherence to applicable regulations and standards – having been painstakingly selected on the basis of their experience, qualifications, professional competence, and compliance history”.
He said the exponential growth of Nigerian aviation industry conversely demands an even greater responsibility to maintain the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and regulatory compliance hence the OJT appointment as NCAA ambassadors.
The DGCA noted that the presentation represents an important regulatory requirement and a safety-critical responsibility, in line with the ALL-Operators’ Notice dated 22nd March, 2024; the ICAO Annex 1 – Personnel Licensing; and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs), Part 2.6.
The nine certified OJT Supervisors are, Joshua Onoja (Value Jet) Fumami Mashaba (Value Jet); Banire AbdulLateef (Value Jet); Fadoju Temiloluwa (Rano Air); Audu Thomas Tinat (Rano Air); Comfort Ayhok (Rano Air); Yakubu Abba Aliyu (Rano Air); Charles Dogara Mallam (Aero Tak); and Mohammed Jafar Liman (Aero Tak).
Speaking on behalf of the awardees, Engr Mohammed Jafar Liman, thanked the NCAA management for the trust reposed in them with their accreditation as OJT Supervisor and promised to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, objectivity, accountability, and regulatory compliance in the discharge of their duties.
Apart from the DOLTS, senior officers present at the event included the General Manager (Licensing Inspectorate), Mr Hyelni H. Bassi; General Manager (Quality Assurance & Documentation), Engr. Obi N. Edwin; Assistant Chief Licensing Examiner (ACLE), Mr Ebiwonjumi Erioluwa; and hordes of staff from DOLTS.
