President Muhammadu Buhari has ratified the Protocol to Amend the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft (Hague Convention of 1971) (Beijing Protocol 2010).<\/p>\n

Buhari also ratified the Protocol to Amend the Convention on the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation (The Montreal Convention of 1971) (Beijing Protocol 2010).<\/p>\n

A statement signed and forwarded to DAILY POST on Wednesday by Buhari\u2019s spokesperson, Garba Shehu<\/a> disclosed that the President ratified the instruments on November 22, 2019.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u2018According to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the Beijing Protocol supplements the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, done at The Hague on 16 December 1970 (The Hague Convention, 1970).<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this end, the Protocol expands the scope of The Hague Convention to cover different forms of aircraft hijackings, including through modern technological means.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Buhari also ratified the Protocol to Amend the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft (Montreal Protocol 2014) as well as the protocol to Amend Article (50a) and Article 56 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention of December 1944) (Montreal Protocol 2016).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President also ratified the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) between the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the execution of these Instruments, it is expected that Nigeria\u2019s aviation links with the UAE will improve significantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal Executive Council had at its meeting of October 16, 2019, approved the ratification and the preparation of the requisite Instruments of Ratification of the aforementioned treaties and conventions. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
