The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority NCAA says it will commence the demolition of telecommunication masts in different locations within the country, immediately.
The NCAA, said the demolition exercise would similarly affect some banks and financial institutions that had discountenanced its regulatory requirements on the clearance to erect any high structure within navigable airspace in the country.
The NCAA had in April warned all Global System for Mobile Communications providers and telecom operators against the violation of safety regulations, with a 30-day ultimatum handed down for compliance.
The regulatory agency’s General Manager, Public Relations, Sam Adurogboye, said the NCAA had been left with no choice as the 30-day ultimatum given to the telecommunication service providers had expired.
He said prior to the expiration of the ultimatum, letters of reminder were written to all affected organisations to obtain Aviation Height Clearance.
