The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has lifted the sanction it imposed on Lubcon, an oil company, from supplying aviation fuel to domestic and foreign airlines at airports in Nigeria.
The Group Executive Director of the firm, Adesoji Fagbemi, disclosed this while speaking to our correspondent.
The firm was suspended a few months ago for its lack of requisite facilities at some airports to supply aviation fuel.
The lifting of the ban, according to Fagbemi, was contained in a letter to the company signed by the Director of Airworthiness Standards, Engr. Benedict Adeyileka, on behalf of the Director General of NCAA.
The letter said the suspension was lifted as a result of the certification of Lubcon’s aviation fuel supply facilities by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and NCAA.
The certification, he said, was preceded by verification visits by top officials of the two regulatory agencies.
Fagbemi said: “The certification of the LUBCON Aviation Depot has resulted in the facility becoming one of the best in the industry. This is a confirmation of the enviable standards maintained by LUBCON.
