A statement from the agency said the Director General of the authority, Captain Muhtar Usman, had signed all the modalities and prerequisite in readiness for the exercise.

According to the statement, all existing aviation fuel suppliers would be required to register and regularise their operations with the NCAA while new entrants would be required file fresh application with the same requirements.
