Yet, 1,717 Nigerians and other nationals have lost their lives in plane crashes from 1969 to 2009 as a result largely of human error, which remains the ultimate culprit for most of the air crashes. Nigeria’s aviation sector has the personnel, infrastructure and equipment necessary to operate an effective modern aviation industry. Two agencies are central to the operations of the aviation sector in Nigeria: Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). The Queen’s government established a West African Airways Corporation (WAAC) and West African Air Transport Authority (WAATA) in 1946 and when Ghana attained independence in 1958, Nigeria’s government and some other entities had to establish the West African Airways Commission (Nigeria) Limited, which later metamorphosed into the defunct Nigeria Airways.
