Who is Polisario? You'd rather create a false narrative than focus on the fact of the matter. Well, the people who matter in Morocco have reached out and the needful will be done. Your agenda does not concern me; the safety and quality of service to Nigerian passenger is my priority.
Royal Air Maroc was one od the airlines sanctioned by the NCAA last year; the first tike in the history of this industry. My post contains this information.
Apparently, you are not aware that we sanctioned airlines, including Royal Air Maroc, in 2025. That was the first tike in the history of civil aviation in Nigeria, that airlines were sanctioned for consumer protection-related infractions. Today's incidence is a fresh case and will be handled on its own merits.
The airline, Royal Air Maroc, has for the longest time, been the biggest culprit when it comes to baggage infractions, poor passenger handling, and extremely poor resolution processes when dealing with Nigerian passengers.
Having been sanctioned - for the first time ever - for consumer protection-related infractions in 2025, one would have expected very major improvements in the way the attend to complaints from Nigerian passengers.
Sadly, despite the best possible support from the Authority (we support all airlines to continue to be in business), the manner of response to these issues have hardly seen much by way of improvement; baggage continue to be shortlanded without timely information to affected passengers, first need is not being paid on a consistent level, and complaints are treated mostly after the NCAA gets involved and much pressure is given.
To make matters worse, invitations from the CAA are treated with a degree of insolence that is unacceptable. Everywhere in the world, when the CAA summons an airline, it is mandatory to attend.
Royal Air Maroc's country manager, Ahmed Boussouf, will sit in Lagos and refuse to attend meetings in Abuja. Instead, the airline will hastily send an email on the eve of the meeting that the cases are being processed, and thereafter, send one Theophilus (their Abuja rep), without authority to resolve cases or make commitments.
Today, one of those events occurred. In registering our displeasure over this incessant disregard for Nigerian passengers and the Authority, this country manager, Boussouf, said to me, "Whatever you want to do, do."
While our job may be thankless and exhausting, the NCAA, under the dispensation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Honourable Minister Festus Keyamo, SAN; and the DGCA, Capt. Chris Najomo, will never be diminished to such a level of brazen disregard and non-compliance.
The passengers whose cases have been delayed, quite unfairly and unnecessarily, are paying, loyal customers. International airlines have bilateral service agreements (BASA) to honour, as well as the obligation of simple service to passengers.
Strict enforcement will happen against this airline and my department will push for a stoppage of Royal Air Maroc operations in Nigeria until they make a commitment to treat Nigerian passengers better.
I am not the kind of public servant who is afraid to lose his job for the right reasons. I will never accept this behaviour from operators. It is not arrogance; it is simply adherence to rules that have, for ages, been treated like they don't exist.
Whatever gains we make in this industry, we will continue to fail if the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders are treated as an afterthought. We must be intentional and systematic, adhering to world class standards.
Most airlines are fortunate, and they know it, that Nigerian passengers do not have a culture of boycotting airlines, no matter the shortcomings. Otherwise, some of these cases would not even require regulatory intervention if any operator fails to take their customers seriously. There is nowhere RAM flies to, that people do not have alternatives in Air Algerie, Egypt Air, and Ethiopian.
My department will be taking a very firm stand over this matter, and Royal Air Maroc will stop taking for granted, the relationship Morocco has enjoyed with Nigeria and Nigerians.
We will ensure stiffer penalties against Royal Air Maroc this time. The job we were given to do will be done without fear.
Lord we thank You for mercy that was shown to us at the Canada Revival Crusade! To You alone be all the glory for the lives touched, destinies delivered and spiritual lives set on fire. Thank You Jesus❤️🔥❤️🔥
I have received reports of the private aircraft that conducted a missed approach at approximately 07:43 am local time this morning whilst attempting to land at the Asaba airport and ended up landing on a concrete road still under construction in the Ogwashi-Uku area, near Asaba. Happily, eye witnesses at the scene indicate that all occupants safely exited the aircraft and were transported to Asaba by road. The aircraft had four (4) crew members on board and there were no injuries to them.
I am also informed that the aircraft subsequently departed the location at approximately 11:02 GMT and returned to Lagos without obtaining the requisite regulatory approval. I also understand that Air Traffic Control was notified only after the aircraft had become airborne. In order words, the aircraft had no clearance to take off again.
We view this incident as a serious breach of Regulations and security and the following actions have been taken:
1. Upon its arrival in Lagos, the NCAA immediately grounded the aircraft pending the outcome of its investigation.
2. The NCAA has placed the flight under regulatory review while it conducts further
inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the occurrence and the subsequent unauthorized departure of the aircraft.
3. The NCAA is coordinating with relevant aviation stakeholders, including the operator and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
4. The NCAA has suspended the operator's permit for Non-Commercial flight (PNCF).
The NCAA will also review all operational, airworthiness, maintenance, and flight-related records as part of its statutory responsibilities and will take further enforcement action in accordance
with applicable aviation regulations.
5. I have also spoken to relevant security agencies and I have been assured that the crew are in their custody and they are assisting them with their investigation.

BIG CHANGE:
YOU CAN NOW OFFICIALLY
GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR YOURSELF, USE WHAT YOU NEED, AND SELL EXCESS ELECTRICITY BACK TO THE GRID THROUGH YOUR DISCO
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has commenced the Net Billing Regulations 2026, a new framework that allows eligible electricity users to generate power mainly through solar energy for their own use and export excess electricity back to the distribution network.
In simple terms, if your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, you can now send the extra power back to your DisCo and receive credits under a regulated billing arrangement.
This effectively creates what the sector calls a “Prosumer” ;meaning you are both a consumer and producer of electricity.
However, there are conditions.
This is not yet targeted at the average small residential solar setup.
To qualify:
-You must already be connected to a DisCo network.
-Your renewable energy system must have a minimum installed capacity of 50kWp and a maximum of 1.5MWp
-You must obtain approval from your DisCo.
-You must sign a Net Billing Agreement and register with NERC.
Approved users will receive bidirectional meters that track: ➡️Electricity imported from the grid
⬅️Electricity exported back to the grid
Listen to @mikeachimugu01, you will see a man who is passionate about the safety and well-being of Nigeria Air Passengers. Nigerians we need to give this man all the support he need to make sure Air passenger are well treated by airline.
