The House of Representatives Committee on Aviation Technology pledged its commitment to ensuring a productive aviation industry in the country during its inaugural meeting at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Committee Chairman Hon. Thomas Eriyetomi assured that the new committee would not fail the House, Nigerians, or other stakeholders in executing its mandate.
He emphasised that the Committee intends to engage and collaborate closely with relevant stakeholders to provide Nigerians with the democratic dividend of a highly innovative and productive aviation industry.
Eriyetomi stated, “You will agree with me that the quality of members of this committee shows the seriousness the House leadership attaches to this committee, and the expectation is high.
“As we all know, this Committee is a newly created Committee, carved out of the existing Committee on Aviation. It is a hi-tech-driven committee with so many expectations from us.
“A work plan has been drawn out to guide us in the journey ahead; go through it and come up with constructive inputs to help us chart our course.
“This Committee is therefore charged with overseeing the following: oversight over Air Safety Services at Airports (NSIB), oversight over Schools of Aviation, oversight over Aviation Institutions, oversight over Metrological Services (NIMET), annual budget estimates, and the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT).
“On behalf of the Deputy Chairman, Hon. Yahaya Sulieman Richifa, and my humble self, I pledge to run an all-inclusive open administration where every member is equal and shall be treated as such. Also, the committee clerk and the secretariat will be empowered to function optimally.
“Finally, we will leave no stone unturned in the discharge of our responsibilities or any other matter referred to it by bringing our various competences to bear on every issue.”
