Nuhu explained that the apex regulatory body had set up a committee to attend to the recommendations and contributions of stakeholders in the industry and the general public.

The process and the committee were in line with Part 1.7 of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2015.

He added that the review and eventual implementation would bring the regulations in compliance with Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) as contained in the latest amendment of the Annexes to the Convention on the International

The reviews and attendant proposals could be submitted through emails, hand delivery or courier to the DGCA through the Chairman of the Regulation Committee.
