MESSAGES
A team of four NAMA staff,
led by the Director of Operations, Mr John Onyegiri, represented Nigeria at a
three-day workshop held between 12th and 14th May, 2014. The event
was organized and hosted by ICAO West and Central Africa. Presided over by Mr. Onyegiri,
the objective of the workshop was to discuss the safety and economic
implication of missing flight plans, NOTAMs and operational meteorological
messages. The workshop which attracted presentations from ICAO and ASECNA
representatives, examined in detail the operational and human factor dimensions
to missing flight plans. Recommendations that would drastically reduce or
eliminate the above problems and lead to better and efficient coordination were
made at the end of the day.

MANAGEMENT WARNS AGAINST
INDISCRIMINATE MAILING
Management
has frowned at the rate at which internal and external correspondences are
routed to the agency in breach of protocol and without following proper
communication channels. A recent circular signed by the Director of Human
Resources, Dr.Uwem Akangson warned that henceforth, all letters from third
party institutions meant for the attention of the Managing Director must be
received and endorsed at the MD/CE’s office and then handed down to the
relevant directorate /department. Similarly, all memos and letters from out
stations must no longer be addressed directly to the MD/CE but to the
Director/directorate handling the issues in question. Finally, all internal
correspondences must pass through the Director/directorate/ GM in charge for
onward transmission to the Managing Director.

THINK SAFETY
ALWAYS
This
is hard to accept as a safety principle but it is true: Until you see and do
your job as a hobby and your emolument as a bonus, you may never truly have job
satisfaction. This is hazardous to yourself and the agency. Courtesy-SMS
