The Chairman, Senate Committee on Aviation, Senator Buhari Abdulfatai, has expressed serious concern over recent high-profile airline–passenger incidents that have raised questions about operational standards, passenger rights, and the overall discipline within Nigeria’s aviation sector.
Speaking on the incidents, Senator Buhari Abdulfatai emphasised that these developments demand immediate and coordinated action to protect the integrity of the sector and restore public confidence.
He explained that in the exercise of its constitutional powers, the Committee will be engaging key regulatory bodies, operators, security agencies, and public interest groups to establish the facts, review existing procedures, and ensure that any necessary corrective measures are swiftly implemented.
“We will not allow procedural gaps or lapses in enforcement to undermine safety, professionalism, or public trust in our aviation system. The Senate Committee on Aviation will ensure accountability at all levels,” Senator Buhari Abdulfatai stated.
He also assuered Nigerians that the Committee is maintaining active oversight and will drive the process toward enforceable solutions that prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
