Mr. Yakubu, who assumed leadership of NAHCO in November 2017,  commended the solid corporate governance principles embedded  in the Company said the certification only confirmed what was already well known.

According to him, “This did not come to us as a surprise. NAHCO is one of the few publicly listed companies in the aviation sector whose processes, procedures, and practices remain a benchmark for the entire industry.”
