In a condolence letter addressed to the current Director-General of the authority, Captain Musa Nuhu, Honourable Nnaji described late Captain Usman as an astute professional.
According to him, “for the brief period l interacted with him before his retirement, l found in him, an astute professional, a seasoned administrator and a detribalized Nigerian who worked hard to keep our skies safe as a regulator.”
“Just a couple of weeks ago, we were all together at the National Assembly for a public hearing on Bills to amend civil aviation Acts and Captain Mukhtar didn’t portray any feelings of ill-health.”
Nnaji stressed that the industry has lost a highly skilled and enxprienced aviator.
He said his heart goes to the immediate family and the entire aviation community in general for this monumental loss.
