Elin Group Receives NCAA Maintenance Certification

Elin Group Limited has secured Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) and Operations Specification (OPSPEC) certification from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to conduct checks on certain aircraft types.

According to statement from the company, the certification, awarded in September 2025, followed Elin’s historic completion of Africa’s first 7,800 hour landings check on a Bombardier Challenger 604.

With a Challenger 604 and an Agusta A109E helicopter in its fleet, Elin has been a strong player in Nigeria’s private aviation sector for over five years.

The AMO certification now positions the company to extend its maintenance services to third-party operators, helping African carriers retain skills and resources within the continent.

The Executive Director, Elin Group Limited, Dr. Benedict Adeyileka, stated: “The issuance of the AMO Certificates and OPSPEC by the NCAA is a landmark for both Elin Group and Nigeria’s aviation industry. This approval empowers us to maintain our fleet and extend services to other operators, thereby supporting the sector’s growth. It affirms the standards we have upheld over the years and places on us the responsibility to expand services that strengthen the aviation ecosystem. We thank the NCAA for their confidence in our capabilities. This recognition inspires us to keep striving for excellence and innovation in building a stronger, safer, and more sustainable aviation industry.”

He said the move would not only build indigenous technical expertise but would also signal Africa’s ability to compete at global standards in aviation maintenance.

    Free Primary Education, Ladder Out of Poverty, Says Tinubu

    *Lauds UBEC’s impact on 20m school children

    President Bola Tinubu said the free primary education schemes launched across country in 1955, 1957 and 1960 respectively by the Premiers of the Western Region, Eastern Region and Northern Region served as a ladder out of poverty for many Nigerians.
    He said the free primary education policies by the nation’s founding fathers constituted a bridge to dignity for countless families across the country.
    President Tinubu spoke as the Distinguished Guest of Honour at the 70th anniversary of the launch of Free Universal Primary Education in Nigeria held on Thursday in Lagos.
    The platinum jubilee was organised by the Independent Newspapers Limited as part of the 65th Independence Anniversary celebrations.
    Represented by the Executive Secretary of Universal Basic Education (UBEC), Aisha Garba, Tinubu lauded the foresight of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Sir Ahmadu Bello and urged governments across the country to follow in the footsteps of the founding fathers.
    According to the President, “Our founding fathers did not merely launch a programme—they defined a national identity that Nigeria’s greatness is rooted in the enlightenment of all.
    “Anniversaries summon us to fidelity. The torch lit in Ibadan (on January 17, 1955) must not dim. It is the duty of every government to renew the covenant that schooling is the right of every Nigerian child. Under this administration that renewal has a name: the Renewed Hope Agenda. It is not a slogan, but the organising principle of this administration — to make education once again the engine of national renewal, the guarantor of equal citizenship, and the path to shared prosperity.
    Weighing in on the challenges posed by the huge numbers of out-of-school children across the states, Tinubu said “Education is not just a social service. It is a national security imperative, economic growth strategy, and moral duty.
    “Every Naira we invest in education is an investment in Nigeria’s future. The youth are our greatest asset, but also our most significant test. We cannot stand by while our children are out of school. We must guarantee access and learning. We must deliver equity and quality. Anything less would betray the covenant made seventy years ago.”
    He restated the commitment of his administration to place education at the centre of policy, financing and governance.
    Citing the example of milestone reforms in the education sector under the watch of Aisha Garba, the President observed that “The Universal Basic Education Commission has evolved from a grant administrator to a true system reformer.”
    UBEC, he said, “now focuses on increasing equitable access to basic education in all parts of Nigeria, improved quality learning, stronger financing and institutional reform nationwide.
    “As a result of these reforms, within a year, twenty-eight states have accessed 70% of the many years of unaccessed federal matching grants. These funds have now been unlocked to accelerate further investments in education, to improve access, and quality in every state in Nigeria.
    “We have doubled the government budgetary allocation to Basic Education and have mobilised over $1 billion in development finance for education, reaching millions of children and teachers who are already benefiting from initiatives that improve quality, access, and strengthen education systems for long-term sustainability.
    “Within two years, over 500,000 teachers have been trained to reach one million by next year.
    “Over 20 million children in basic education are being positively impacted with ongoing interventions.”
    The President urged “Development partners, teachers, parents and other key stakeholders continue to play invaluable roles in basic education.
    “Your steadfast support is deeply appreciated, and your contribution remains essential to our shared mission,” said the President.

    ATCO Homes Petitions EFCC over Irregular  Ibeju-Lekki Land Deal

    Sunday Okobi

    Lagos ATCO Homes, a Lagos-based real estate development company, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged irregularities and fraudulent activities in a land transaction involving the Daramola family, acting on behalf of Bolorunpelu Onigbedu Village of Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.

    According to the petition made available to the media yesterday by ATCO Homes’ Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bartholomew Egbochie, ATCO Homes stated that it legally acquired its estate land in 2020 from the Daramola family of Bolorunpelu Onigbedu Village Excision situated within the 35.73 hectares covered by a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) dated April 24, 2015, registered as No. 78 at page 78 in Volume 2015H of the Register of Deeds at the Lagos State Lands Registry, Ikeja.

    “However, years after the valid transaction, the same family allegedly applied to the Lagos State Government to adjust the boundary of the titled land without the company’s consent or participation,” he
    stated.

    The real estate firm stated that the move effectively shifted the titled coordinates to a different location, leaving ATCO’s originally acquired and developed estate outside the title coverage, thereby creating both legal and investor conflicts.

    ATCO Homes’ Group Managing Director, Egbochie, described the development as “a deliberate breach of contractual trust and title integrity,” stressing that it has confused subscribers who purchased plots in good faith.

    He further revealed that the Bolorunpelu family executed a Deed of Rectification, registered as No. 24/2784 at the Lagos State Lands Registry, Alausa, in July 2024, without notifying or involving ATCO Homes. Egbochie added, “ATCO Homes was never carried along in any rectification process. Yet, the family altered the land boundaries and title coordinates in a way that jeopardised our legal interest and that of our subscribers.

    “We have petitioned the EFCC to investigate and prosecute all parties involved, to protect investor confidence and restore integrity in Lagos’ real estate sector.”

    ATCO Homes reaffirmed its commitment to due process, transparency, and lawful real estate operations, noting that its legal and compliance teams are actively engaging with both the EFCC and the Lagos State Ministry of Lands to ensure full accountability.

    The company urged its subscribers and investors to remain calm and confident, assuring them that their investments remain safe and valid, as discussions with relevant authorities are ongoing to safeguard all title interests and maintain public trust in Lagos’ real estate environment.
