    African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) has announced that Ms. Adefunke Adeyemi has been elected as the new Secretary General of the Commission.

    The Bureau and the Secretariat of AFCAC, on Friday, informed AFCAC member States, International Organizations, States Partners and all aviation and affiliated stakeholders that Ms. Adefunke Adeyemi has been elected the new Secretary General of the AFCAC.

    This announcement was given at the 34th AFCAC Plenary in Dakar, Senegal and the new AFCAC Secretary General takes over from the former Secretary General, Mr. Tefera Mekonnen TEFERRA whose tenure ended in January 2022, following which Ms. Angeline Simana steered AFCAC as Interim Secretary General.

    Adeyemi remarked shortly after her election that her objective is to build on the progress already made by previous Secretaries General and teams of AFCAC to see a new dawn for change through positive action for AFCAC and African aviation.

    Her words: “The vision for African aviation is to enable a fully connected, prosperous and united Africa. We have made so much progress and we must stay the course and build an current momentum to strengthen existing partnerships and create new mutually beneficial relationships. We are stronger together and I am fully committed to collaboration, multilateralism and fostering cooperation with all States, partners and relevant stakeholders to move African aviation forward.”

    With an international career spanning over 20 years, Adefunke began her career as a practicing lawyer in Nigeria; she was Company Secretary and General Counsel to Virgin Nigeria Airways before joining the International Air Transport Association (IATA) where she has worked in different roles over the last 12 years.

    Until her appointment, Adeyemi was Regional Director, External Affairs and Sustainability for Africa, where she advocated for the sustainability of air transport, trade, tourism and business across the region, highlighting its positive socio economic impact and value as strategic enablers of development across Africa and beyond.

    Ms. Adeyemi has been the IATA focal point for the implementation of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) and a Private Sector Champion of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA), two strategic policy initiatives of the African Union designed to promote intra-African connectivity and trade to secure Africa’s integration and prosperity.

    “We must all work together to tackle the challenges that African aviation has faced and harness the opportunities that abound to translate Africa’s aviation potential into reality. The time is now. Africa must fully connect, for its own survival and prosperity. Civil aviation must continue to focus on its core areas and also work much closer with the tourism and trade sectors. This synergy, which must be intentional, will ensure that African aviation survives, grows and thrives for the benefit of Africa and its citizens”, Adeyemi said.

    Ms. Adeyemi is a lawyer and advocate, with extensive experience in regional and global strategy and policy development. She is also a global air transport and trade facilitation expert, focused on driving value, policy. reform, best practices and international standards to air transport and related sectors, businesses and government.

    She holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B. Hons) from the University of Lagos, a Master- Laws (LL.M.) from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Nanyang Business School, Singapore in collaboration with Wharton Business School, Philadelphia and Berkeley Hass Business School, California.

    AFCAC is the specialized agency of the African Union mandated to oversee matters related to civil aviation across Africa. The Commission is also expressly tasked as Executing Agency with facilitating, coordinating and ensuring the successful implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision/Single Africa Air Transport Market (SAATM) to liberalize Africa’s air transport industry. It supervises and manages initiatives aimed at improving Safety, Security, Environment, Human Resources Development, Aviation Training, Aviation Financing, Infrastructure development in the air and on the ground), and much more.
