Introduction.
Nigeria’s global aviation compliance rating under the Cape Town Convention has risen to 75.5%, reflecting significant progress in aligning the country’s aviation financing and regulatory framework with international standards. Announced by Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development Festus Keyamo during the Cape Town Convention Africa Event in Abuja, the improvement follows the operationalization of the Irrevocable Deregistration and Export Request Authorization (IDERA) procedure and Practice Directions, which have clarified the adjudication of aircraft financing cases in Nigerian courts.
