We have been deliberating on this matter for forty years and I believe that this achievement is timely: I will be stepping down next year and feel that this will provide a legacy service that will benefit the next generations of the NAAPE. It remains my great privilege to serve until we select my successor to carry forward and continue to deliver to our vision.”
He continued, “I would like to place on record my deepest appreciation to NAAPE, NEC and NAC for their support in taking this unanimous decision to perform this herculean task.”
The NAAPE boss noted that as the longest-serving National President of NAAPE for the last 40 years, he can only share the great honour and privilege it has been to lead aviators through thick and thin, adding that this milestone achievement would not have been possible without the tremendous support of NAAPE Executive.

NAAPE which was established about 40 years ago, has been the official voice for pilots and aircraft engineers in Nigeria, fighting for good welfare of its members and enabling the sustainable growth of our aviation sector.
