Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has lifted the sanction it imposed on Lubcon Aviation Depot from supplying aviation fuel to domestic and foreign airlines at airports in Nigeria with immediate effect.

This was contained in a letter to Lubcon signed by Benedict Adeyileka, director of Air-worthiness Standards on behalf of the director-general of NCAA.

The letter said the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and the NCAA lifted the suspension as a result of certification of Lubcon’s aviation fuel supply facilities. This certification was preceded by verification visits by top officials of the two regulatory agencies.

The certification of the Lubcon Aviation Depot has resulted in the facility becoming one of the best in the industry.

Lubcon commends DPR and NCAA for their quality assurances meeting international specifications.

Lubcon being the first oil and gas company in Nigeria to be ISO certified in the year 2002 and the winner of the 2015 National Productivity Order of Merit Award of the Federal Government of Nigeria promise to remain committed to the highest international quality standards.

It has also assured all its aviation customers and stakeholders nationwide of its renewed commitment to continue to deliver quality, and appreciates them for their support and understanding during the period.

Over the years, Lubcon has become a key player in the oil and gas sector through the manufacturing, lifting, distribution and sales of petroleum and allied products.

It would be recalled that recently, Lubcon was appointed by JX NIPPON, the second biggest oil and gas company in Japan, to blend its lubricants locally on its behalf for the Yamaha Motorcycles and outboard motors being assembled in Nigeria.
