The Acting Director General of Civil Aviation, Captain Chris Ona Najomo has inaugurated NCAA Project Monitoring and Evaluation Committee.
Captain Najomo, while inaugurating the committee at the Authority’s Corporate Headquarters, in Abuja, said that the creation of the Directorate of Special Duties and the establishment of a Project Monitoring and Contract Evaluation Unit within the Directorate necessitated the reconstitution of the committee.
According to him, project monitoring entails planning and execution as well as diligent supervision and continuous monitoring and evaluation towards achieving specific goals.
Acting DG said that the 10-man committee was first constituted in 2021, and its reconstitution demonstrates NCAA Management’s collective dedication to transparency, accountability, and value for resources.
He clarified that the project monitoring and contract evaluation team is not responsible for contract award or negotiation, but purely to monitor compliance and ensure that Management’s standard and specifications are met.
He tasked the committee members to be the lens through which projects in NCAA will be viewed to ensure strict compliance with the Authority’s Service Level Agreements, compliance with extant laws and regulations, identify potential risks and liabilities, ensure value for money, as well as proffer recommendations to guide Management’s decision-making in project delivery.
Admitting that the task ahead of the committee is enormous, considering their primary assignments in the NCAA, the Acting DG asked members of the committee to see themselves as agents of change in line with his (Najomo’s) NCAA Project 2024 and beyond, assuring members of his support in the discharge of their responsibilities.
The committee, which is chaired by the Director of Special Duties, Horatius Egua, has members drawn from Directorates/Departments of Finance, Legal Services, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Aerodrome and Airspace Standards, Procurement and Human Resources and Administration.
