Spokesperson for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Sam Adurogboye said in a statement reaching Xinhua that a four-man team from the ICAO has arrived the West African country to commence the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program (USOAP), beginning from March 14 to March 25.



The auditors would focus on some critical areas of Legislation (LEG), Organization (ORG), Accident and Incident Investigation (AIG), Air Navigational Services (ANS) and Aerodrome and Ground Aids (AGA) during the audit.

The auditors who will be working with their Nigerian counterparts will also visit the NCAA Regional Offices and all the relevant service providers in the aviation industry.

The team will work in separate groups, based on specific assignments.
At the conclusion of the audit, there would be a closing meeting where the draft audit result would be vetted.
