A Nigerian, Dr Olumuyiwa Babatunde has been elected
President of the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
ICAO, is the umbrella world body for Aviation safety.
He was elected today at the 38th
Assembly of the organisation in Montereal, Canada by the assembly, comprising 172
nations.
Dr Olumuyiwa Babatunde is the first black man to
head the world body. Nigeria’s delegation to the forum was lead by Aviation
Minister, Stella Oduah.
A statement by FAAN spokesman, Yakubu Datti, said Dr
Babatunde’s success stems from government’s support and the goodwill he has
built among ICAO member nations. Mr Datti said the feat further demonstrates
the reforms in the aviation sector.
