A reliable source disclosed in Lagos that majority of the
directors was relieved of their duties while the general managers were demoted.
The source said some of the affected general managers, who were
not properly placed in their appointments, were demoted from Grade Levels 17
and 16 to levels 10, 12 and 14 respectively.
It was gathered that the restructuring was done by the Ministry
of Transport following the recommendations of the Presidential Committee
chaired by the Head of Service, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita.
The Minister of State, Aviation, Captain Hadi Sirika, had said
aviation agencies, particularly FAAN and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA), were over-bloated
The committee, in its report, discovered that FAAN had no fewer
than 40 general managers and 11 directorates created from existing directorates
thereby raising overhead cost immensely.
Similarly, the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association
of Nigeria(ATSSSAN) and the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE),
had complained about the inappropriate placements.
They had alleged that some senior management personnel were
appointed into sensitive positions through political connections without the
prerequisite experience or qualifications.
They alleged that some personnel who were employed between 2012
and 2013 had just completed their National Youth Service between 2008 and 2010
but were given management positions.
