The Federal Government has given reasons for granting a company the exclusive rights to collect helicopter landing levy at all aerodromes, helipads, oil rig platforms and other places in the country.The minister said the company, NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited, got the current administration’s nod because it had already been considered by the immediate past minister, Senator Hadi Sirika, for the job.
“Government is a continuum, and if you see a good idea, you accept it. It is not everything I will cancel. I suspended Nigeria Air but this particular project is good. So, there was no reason to suspend it because the company said they would help us to collect fees from the helicopters through a PPP arrangement.
“It is imperative that all operators and stakeholders fully comply with the mandate by granting total access to Messrs. NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited for the collection of levy, effective immediately.
