up a nine-man technical and administrative panel to audit all airlines operating in the country. On 5 September 2012, the suspension on Dana Air's operating license was lifted, and the airline started recertification and retraining processes. Dana Air set up a 24-hour hotline for relatives to call and added a message to its website reading "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of guests who were involved in the Dana Air mishap. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace". Management of Dana Air stated that the relatives of each of the passengers would be given a compensation of USD$100,000. Rescuers managed to recover at least 152 bodies, including partially-recovered ones, and most had been severely charred by the post-crash fire. A total of 148 bodies were successfully identified, consisting of 89 males and 59 females. The report from the chief medical examiner, however, stated that authorities were unable to identify 3 remaining "bodies". Of the 148 identified bodies, a total of 9 victims were not on the manifest. The bodies of Captain Waxtan and First Officer Rathore could not be identified. Governor Fashola of Lagos State held a press conference on 10 June with the families of the victims regarding the government's plan to hold a mass burial for the victims of Flight 0992. The plan was eventually rejected by the relatives.

The Nigerian House of Representatives accused the NCAA of being inept, claiming that the MD-83 aircraft type had been phased out in every country around the world and further alleged that NCAA had not been able to provide a qualified inspector for the type. The report was called by NCAA officials as "falsehood, fallacies and misrepresentation". It led to a controversy between government officials and NCAA as the calls to remove Demuren from his position were regarded as an attempt by corrupted officials to gang-up the head of the regulatory agency. Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made pleas to President Jonathan to let Demuren stay. Despite his achievements for the Nigerian aviation safety sector in the past years, Demuren was eventually removed by Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah from his position in March 2013 due to his perceived ineptitude on the investigation of Flight 0992's crash.
