civil society organisation, the Network for the Actualisation of Social Growth and Viable Development (NEFGAD), on Wednesday described the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority’s (NCAA) recent directive to ban the use of mobile phones in “aeroplane mode” during flights as a regressive policy that exposes the country to global ridicule.

According to the organisation’s Country Head of Office, Omoniyi Akingunola, in a statement made available to journalists, the directive indicated serious international embarrassment to Nigeria.

The Director-General of NCAA, Capt. Chris Najomo, at a stakeholders’ meeting themed “National Civil Aviation Security Committee Meeting” in Abuja on Tuesday, had declared that all passengers must now completely switch off their electronic devices during flights, thereby ending the long-standing “flight mode” practice.
