Ibrahim Abdulsalam as NAMA helmsman. This week we bring to you more views from those behind NAMA’s recent success story. The Director of Safety Electronics and Engineering Services, Engr. Emma Anasi says a lot has happened in NAMA within the past year in terms of deployment of infrastructure, like the Fibre Optic Link between the TRACON site and the MMIA terminal building which has enabled the agency to interface more telephone hotlines to the VCCS of TRACON. ‘’Also, Abdulsalam resuscitated the Kano Safe Tower which was stalled and as we speak now, the project is almost completed. We have also made progress in the replacement of the SATCOM systems in Kano and Lagos Gateways with more efficientand latest technology. The AIS Automation is moving as it never didbefore, and hopefully by the 3rd quarter of 2015, 11 stations will become operational. According to NAMA Company Secretary, Barr. Paul Oki, the recent gains of the agency are traceable to the clear commitment of the MD/CE to professionalism ‘’and this he did by raising standards in keeping with ICAO recommendations. He has also set the agency on the path to achieving ISO9001/27001 Certification apart from establishing a taskforce for actualizingVision 2015-2020 Impact Plan.’’

MANAGEMENT TO STREAMLINE EMERGENCY MEDICAL BILLS
IN a bid to streamline medical bills emanating from emergency treatment outside of Aviation Medical Clinics (which is the primary place of consultation for every NAMA staff), management has come up with guidelines to be strictly adhered to by all staff. A recent circular signed by the Director of Human Resources, Dr UwemAkangson has enjoined staff to be guided by the NAMA Condition of Service vis-a-vis medical service delivery which stipulates inter-alia that only expenses incurred in the course of referral by the Aviation Medical Clinic would be entertained by the agency, with the approval limit set by the clinic.
