The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has denied reports that it has increased the charges payable by stakeholders in the travel sector.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the Director General (DG) of NCAA, Captain Musa Nuhu spoke on Monday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos State, on the sidelines of the tour of the terminal by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
Capt Nuhu branded the reports as “completely false”, adding that the agency could not have increased charges without stakeholders’ input.
His words: “As the DG of NCAA, I am not aware and I have not authorised any charge increase.
“Misinformation is creating a lot of problems. The truth of the matter is that the last time NCAA increased its charges was 10 years ago.
“If we were charging N5,000 about 10 years ago and we are still charging that, then you calculate the inflationary pressures.”
