NGThe Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has called on the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation to restore its original 65% share of the five percent Ticket Sales Charge (TSC) and Cargo Sales Charge (CSC). Director-General Capt. Chris Ona Najomo argued that reducing this share would weaken aviation safety oversight and hinder compliance with international standards. He emphasized that the NCAA relies heavily on TSC revenue, which constitutes about 80% of its income, while the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) generates most of its revenue from other commercial charges. Najomo stated that restoring the original funding formula would address deficiencies highlighted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) during its last audit and align Nigeria with global best practices. He also pointed out that NAMA has access to multiple revenue streams, including bilateral air services agreements and government allocations, which the NCAA does not.
Bias read (Center): The article presents the NCAA's position without overtly endorsing or criticizing it. While the issue of aviation funding is politically sensitive, the framing remains balanced, focusing on factual arguments and referencing international standards rather than taking a clear ideological stance.
