The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says it will intensify its investigation to establish the root cause of contamination in the fuel tanks of some aircraft.

Musa Nuhu, NCAA director-general, spoke during a meeting with all domestic/international operators, aviation fuel suppliers, and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority in Abuja on Thursday.

“The fuel contamination is outside the purview of the aviation ecosystem that is why we have engaged the regulator of the downstream sector,” he said.Advertisement “All facets of the aviation fuel ecosystem must be investigated to arrive at the true situation. The investigation is not necessarily to indict anyone but to strengthen safety in the aviation industry,” he added.

“We are all stakeholders and travelers. We took this incident seriously. I directed my colleagues to trace the cause so that whatever steps we will take, we will bring stability, confidence, and improve the safety level,” Ahmed said.
