NIGERIA, CAMEROON SIGN AGREEMENT TO IMPROVE AIR SAFETY

Nigeria and Cameroon have signed a bilateral agreement aimed at strengthening air safety and deepening aviation cooperation between the two countries.
The agreement was formalised during a high-level meeting involving aviation and defence officials from both nations. The pact is expected to enhance coordination in airspace management, improve surveillance, and promote safer flight operations across their shared air corridors.
Officials said the move reflects a renewed commitment to regional collaboration, particularly in addressing emerging aviation safety concerns and ensuring effective monitoring of cross-border air traffic. The partnership will facilitate closer cooperation between regulatory authorities, improve information sharing, and strengthen operational standards in line with international best practices.
The agreement also underscores efforts by both countries to reinforce regional security through improved airspace control and coordinated responses to potential threats. Observers note that enhanced collaboration between neighbouring states is increasingly critical as air traffic grows and security challenges evolve.
Authorities from both sides expressed confidence that the partnership will contribute to safer skies, smoother aviation operations, and stronger diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Cameroon.
Further details regarding the implementation framework and timeline are expected to be announced by the relevant aviation agencies in the coming weeks.
