The federal government, through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced a new regulation mandating all passengers to switch off their phones and other electronic devices during take-off and landing.
Michael Achimugu, spokesperson of the NCAA, disclosed the directive on Tuesday via his official X handle.
He said the regulation has now been unified across all Nigerian airlines.
According to Michael Achimugu,“Henceforth, the regulation per phones and other electronic devices in Nigeria has been unified: ALL PHONES MUST BE SWITCHED OFF DURING THE CRITICAL ASPECTS OF TAKE OFF AND LANDING.
“All airlines must amend their security programmes to reflect this if different in their current programmes. No more airplane mode until regulations are reviewed to reflect evolving technological situations.”
