The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is organizing an Aviation Security Awareness and Enlightenment Symposium in Lagos on April 29, 2025, aimed at promoting collaboration and strengthening the aviation security governance architecture in Nigeria.
The event, theme “The Fundamentality of Security in Achieving the Safe Skies Goal,” will bring together key stakeholders across the aviation value chain to exchange ideas on enhancing aviation security systems.
According to the Director General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo, the symposium is a landmark initiative designed to reinforce security consciousness and build a resilient aviation security ecosystem.
He emphasized that security is the backbone of civil aviation and that a shared security culture driven by knowledge, vigilance, and cooperation is essential to protecting the skies and ensuring the safety of passengers, crew, and infrastructure.
The symposium will focus on emerging threats, coordination and collaboration between aviation operators and security agencies, the role of innovation and technology in aviation security, building a proactive and security-informed workforce, and enhancing compliance with global aviation security standards.
The event will feature keynote addresses, expert-led technical sessions, and interactive Q&A sessions.
Senior representatives from the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, aviation parastatals, security agencies, airlines, airport authorities, and AVSEC service providers are expected to attend the symposium.
The event aligns with international best practices and is part of NCAA’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s aviation security regime.
The NCAA’s initiative is expected to promote a culture of security awareness and cooperation among stakeholders, ultimately contributing to the achievement of safe skies and the growth of Nigeria’s aviation industry.
