Reps to hand over NCAA management to EFCC over missing ₦43bn revenue

NCAA declared only ₦12.7bn revenue from the share of the gross revenue allotted to regulatory agencies in the industry.

The House of Representatives has threatened to hand over the management of Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged missing ₦43 billion revenue generated in 2022.

Rep. James Faleke, Chairman, House Committee on Finance, issued the notice in Abuja on Monday, during the ongoing interactive session with revenue generating agencies.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the records provided by Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) revealed that 16 million passengers were transported by local airlines in 2022. It revealed that three million passengers were transported by international airlines.

NAN gathered that ₦1.28 trillion was realised from tickets sold to international passengers, out of which ₦64 billion represented five per cent shared by the five regulatory agencies in 2022.

It was also confirmed that the ADR16 documents, managed by Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), showed that total of 14,572,614 passengers were airlifted by local airlines in 2021.

From the documents submitted to the Committee, NCAA declared ₦12.7 billion revenue from the share of the gross revenue allotted to regulatory agencies in the industry.

The lawmaker, however, said the amount was below the computed gross revenue share received by NCAA worth ₦66 billion realised from both revenues accrued from local and international travels for 2022.

The breakdown of NCAA’s revenue share showed that ₦31 billion was realised from local passengers. Also, ₦35.85 billion was realised from international flights for the period under review.

According to the records provided to the Committee, 5% of all tickets sold to local and international airlines were distributed among five regulatory agencies. Breakdown of the sharing formula showed that 56% of the amount is for NCAA, 22% is for Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).

9% is for Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET), 7% is for Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT). Meanwhile, 6% is for Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB). Faleke also alleged that the agency was having outstanding of ₦8 billion revenue undeclared from revenue accrued from international passengers for 2022.

In his response to various allegations, the NCAA representatives, Captain Ibrahim Dambazau and Abubakar Gachi explained that some local airlines were working for the agency. They added that the affected airline operators were indebted to NCAA.

Piqued by the undue controversies trailing the amount realised and under-remittance, Faleke requested for NCAA’s audited reports. He also demanded for comprehensive reports of the NCAA banks operated before transition to Treasury Single Account (TSA) since 2015 to Q1 of 2023. The committee also requested for the list of all local airlines that were indebted to NCAA

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
