CAPTAIN CHRIS ONA NAJOMO is a Pilot by intuition and training. Knowing him for the past 25 Years, you will wonder what his passion could have been if there wasn’t a vocation called ‘Air Piloting’.
He eats, sleeps and dream piloting. There is hardly any brand of airplane that he has not flown in the history of aviation business in Nigeria.
In the last 43 Years, he flew, ran and managed successful airline firms that dotted the Nigerian Civil Aviation Economy in the last five decades.
From his days at Okada Air down to Albarka Air Plc to Capital Air to Arik Air and now as Director of Air Transport Regulations at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Efunrun Delta State (Southern Nigeria) born aviation business guru has seen it all.
Famously called JOLLY PAPA due to his profound dexterity at flying and landing, Captain Chris Najomo is a pilot’s pilot. He is one of the very few who grew from the side of Professional flying the aero planes to the oversight industry where he now inspects the professionals.
His late Father, Bamidele Najomo was an Air Traffic officer in the old Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).
Asabe Afrika TV team caught up with him on Friday, May 27, 2022 for an exclusive encounter inside his NCAA Headquarters, Ikeja Lagos, office where he spoke on his new brief as Director of Air Transport Regulations of the aviation organization.
We spoke on the aviation business in Nigeria and general problems facing the industry especially for customers who now pay through their nose to travel due to certain challenges in other sectors.
In all, in 8 years of President Muhammadu Buhari’s reign, there is yet to be a bad record of a commercial plane crash.
