No plans to replace remove Kano Airport runway lights for Lagos, says NCAA The Nigeria Civil Authority (NCAA) has stated that there are no plans to replace the runway lights of Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano with the missing airfield lights of Runway 18R of Murtala Muhammed Inyernatuonal Airport (MMIA) , Lagos. Its Director General, Captain Musa Nuhu said reports suggesting that the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo ordered such removal is false. Nuhu said there is no way the minister could have given such order considering that MAKIA , Kano is among the five International airports in the country close to receiving certification as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The NCAA boss clarified :" The authority wishes to assure the traveling public that it will leave no stone unturned in ensuring continuous safety of flight operations in all sectors of civil aviation in Nigeria. " The Nigeria Civil Authority (NCAA) has been notified of a report that has gone viral in the social media claiming the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Mr..Festus Keyamo has ordered the removal of airfield lights at Mallam Aminu Kano International to replace the missing airfield lights at Runway 18R at Murtala Muhammad International Airport Lagos. "The regulatory body of civil aviation in Nigeria, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) wishes to inform the public to disregard the report, as it is not aware of any directive to remove any of the several airfield light systems at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport."
