The managing director of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria ( FAAN) Saleh Dunoma has advocated a central quality control procedure for aviation fuel supplied by independent marketers to domestic and foreign carriers operating in Nigeria.
Dunoma said the central quality control measure has become imperative to ensure that aviation fuel supplied complied with the required standards by the International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO).
Towards this end, he said FAAN, fuel suppliers and airlines would meet soon to arrive at the best quality of the product to be certified by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Organization ( NCAA).
He also urged aviation agencies to initiate quality control procedures to strenghten controls over Jet A1, otherwise known as aviation fuel .
Dunoma stated this while delivering a keynote address at the 2015 Annual public lecture organised by the Aeronautical Division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE).
He commended the enginers for contributing positively to the development of the aviation sector. Dunoma advocated strict adherence to the Public Procurement act so as to safeguard the integrity of the profession.
The FAAN boss revealed that his Authority has all engineering drawings and manuals for all facilities at the airport to facilitate easy repairs of airport facilities.
He assured that FAAN will continue to comply with all procurement requirements, to enable it run an efficient air transport system.
The Director General of Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Mr. Emeka Ezeh ,at the lecture, implored stakeholders to adhere strictly to provisions in the Public Procurement Act. He charged engineers to checkmate corrupt tendencies that could hamper the intergrity of the process.
Earlier in their separate remarks, the chairman of the occassion, Prince Julius Adelusi Adeluyi, and host of the lecture Group Capt John Obakpolor enjoined engineers to live up to the ethics of the profession.
