On October 7, 2019, the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations (IAOPA) formally acknowledged the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of Nigeria (AOPA Nigeria) as the organization representing Nigerian general aviation within the global IAOPA network. In the memorandum issued on that date, IAOPA President Mark Baker noted that IAOPA Headquarters “has received an application for membership from the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association of Nigeria (AOPA‑Nigeria)” and that the Secretary General confirmed the association met all constitutional and bylaw requirements.
