MD PLEDGES COMMITMENT TO INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT
\The
Managing Director, Engr. Ibrahim Abdulsalam has solicited a collaborative
partnership between the media and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency
(NAMA) as it strives to deliver “a world class CNS/ATM infrastructure across
the nation that would guarantee the safety and security of the Nigerian
airspace, within the ambit of the Aviation Master plan.’’ Engr. Abdulsalam who
made these remarks at the 20th Annual Seminar of the League of
Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) which took place at the NCAA
headquarters annex in Lagos, where he was represented by the Ag. GM
Procurement, Engr. Muyiwa Adegorite, also expressed delight that the successful
implementation of TRACON has given Nigeria the platform for the overlay of
other cutting edge technologies due for takeoff like Controller/ Pilot Data Link
Communication (CPDLC), Mode S Data Link and Aeronautical Information Service
Automation. Engr Abdulsalam also noted that
in line with his administration’s safety
critical manpower development plan, the agency has made
tremendous progress in building capacity with the recent rating of 79 Air
Traffic Controllers to support the manpower needs of the area radar control
service. Earlier in an address, the Chairman of LAAC, Mr Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo
commended NAMA for addressing the challenge of ageing workforce with the
passing out of cadet Air Traffic Controllers from the Nigerian College of
Aviation Technology, (NCAT) Zaria. This year’s LAAC seminar with the theme: Aviation
Infrastructure and Policy as Stimulus for Economic Growth in Nigeria
attracted aviation experts, stakeholders as well as politicians from
across the country.
