The Federal Government has ordered the reduction of the no-fly ban imposed on Fuji icon Kwam 1 to one month and the restoration of the licenses of the pilot and co-pilot involved in the ValueJet airline incident.

In a statement on Thursday, Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo announced that the move followed critical consultations with stakeholders in the aviation sector.

Keyamo wrote, “In the case of KWAM 1, the NCAA is to reduce his flight ban to a one-month period. FAAN will also work with the music star with a view to engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward”.

“In the case of Captain Oluranti Ogoyi, and the co-pilot, First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET, the NCAA is to restore their licenses after the same period of one-month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional re-appraisal,” the minister’s statement read in part. “The details will be announced by the NCAA.”
