“And let me be honest with you, what Mr. President has done with his Renewed Hope agenda has ensured that our minister, with his five key points agenda, given us the opportunity to perform more. We are going to continue performing more because our directors are on ground” he added.
“We will do Anything to make sure every airline complies with air safety rules. You can see recently we had to sanction some airlines and they accepted it” he stated.
“We sanctioned five airlines because they refused to pay refund tickets and they have agreed that they will pay on time. So, this year, 2025, we hope to see more and better” he assured.
Capt. Najomo also told the staff that he is focused on delivering on his core job functions and meet his performance targets as he will not be distracted by fake stories sponsored to attack him.
“The attacks are not affecting my work. There are no distractions. Because I’m resolute in doing what I’m supposed to do. My confirmation is in the hands of Mr. President. And when it comes to the time, he will do the needful. For now, it’s not distracting me. I’m doing my job” he stated.
On staff work conditions, he said his management is motivating staff in the best ways possible in addition to improved work space.
“We will be fully digitalized. We also have the flight data center that is there. We have the CPD portal. We have the DATR portal to make it easier in doing business and seamless too”
