The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has reached an agreement with Firstway FZE and Global Software & Digital Solution (GSDS) to implement the Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information (PLACI) framework. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is intended to bolster aviation security and boost the integrity of Nigeria's air cargo supply chain.
Initially, the framework's implementation will concentrate on inbound air cargo, establishing a robust foundation for technological deployment, partner involvement, and operational evaluation.
At the signing ceremony, Captain Chris Najomo, Director General of Civil Aviation, highlighted the significance of the agreement as a crucial step in fortifying Nigeria's aviation security framework. He emphasized that the agreement marks the commencement of the implementation process, not merely a conclusion of a contract. "This is not just about signing an agreement; this is the beginning of the actual work," Captain Najomo stated, urging the partners to remain dedicated and ensure the agreed-upon procedures are diligently adhered to.
Upon behalf of Firstway FZE and GSDS, Mr Peter Igbinedion clarified that the project had consumed approximately nine to ten months, potentially extending further, to achieve the signing stage. Igbinedion expressed his company's preparedness and commitment to successfully execute the project.
