The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) (“Constitution”) places aviation matters within the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Assembly. The principal legislation governing the aviation industry is the Civil Action Act which was recently re-enacted by the National Assembly of Nigeria, to the Civil Aviation Act 2022 (“CAA 2022”). The CAA 2022 repealed the CAA 2006 which was in use prior to the enactment of the CAA 2022.
