The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) has announced the appointments of Ms. Angeline Simana as its new Director of Air Transport and Mr. Stephen Musa as its new Air Transport Expert.
Until her recent appointment, Ms. Angeline Simana was the Executive Director of the Namibia Civil Aviation Authority in the Republic of Namibia.
She holds an M. Phil (Transport and Logistics) Post-graduate Degree from the University of Stellenbosch, Western Cape Province, in the Republic of South Africa and an Undergraduate Bachelor’s Degree; with majors in Economics and Management Science from the University of Namibia.
Her life experiences have shaped her and continue to shape her for the enormous demands that come with building a sustainable civil aviation oversight system in Namibia. She started her professional career with the Ministry of Works and Transport as a Transport Economist in 2000, subsequently promoted to Deputy Director Transportation Policy in 2006 and Director Transportation Policy and Regulation in 2007.
One of her most positive contributions was to steer Namibia’s regulatory framework within a short period from a very passive self-regulatory civil aviation system to a relatively balanced and responsive aviation regulatory framework.
Also, until his new appointment, Mr. Stephen Musa, Nigerian, was a Special Assistant to the Secretary General of the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC). He has degrees from the University of Lagos as well as the University of Benin, both in Nigeria.
AFCAC wishes both appointees success in their new offices.
