IWD 2020: NCAA lauds Nigerian women

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has joined the international civil aviation community to celebrate Nigerian women as the world marks the International Women’s Day (IWD 2020).

The Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Capt Musa Nuhu recognizes  women  as the  bedrocks  of  all  successful  societies  and  on  this  day,  we acknowledge  and  appreciate  their  contributions  towards the  development  of  the  aviation, not only in Nigeria, but on the global stage.

He said it was in alignment  with the International Women’s Day 2020  Theme:  ‘Generation  Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights, NCAA expresses its full  commitment to the  implementation  of  the  Aviation  Gender  Equality  Program  as well  as the  promotion  of women  in  STEM  education.

“NCAA aligns itself with the position of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) that “it is now more important than ever to advocate for gender equality, given the opportunities which are presenting themselves due to growth, attrition, and other factors.

“This is particularly the case in highly-specialized industries like aviation, where women continue to be under-represented.”

“We hope that this celebration will be a springboard for the rise of women in the Aviation industry where the protection or their rights are fully established and guaranteed.
