Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo has “temporarily” suspended the enforcement granted Messers NAEBI Dynamic Concept Ltd, by the Federal Government, as consultants to collect levies on Helicopter landing.
The Aviation ministry on Friday in a statement said the suspension followed a meeting with the Executives of Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON).
The suspension takes effect from May 30, 2024, Odutayo Oluseyi, Head of Press and Public Affairs of the ministry conveyed in a statement.

“Accordingly, Keyamo has constituted a Committee with members drawn up from the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and its relevant Agencies, Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), International Oil Companies (IOCs) and Messers NAEBI Dynamic Concept Ltd who are charged to look into the issues raised by concerned Stakeholders and submit a Report on or before end of June,2024.
“Messers NAEBI Dynamic Concept Ltd was granted the exclusive right by the Federal Government as consultants to collect such levies which stakeholders have expressed their reservation on the appropriateness of the levies.
“The recommendation(s) of the Committee would proffer a way forward,” the statement added.
