NAMA NEWS UPDATE


ARAP STEERING COMMITTEE SUBMITS REPORT
...AS CHIDOKA LAUDS NAMA FOR CREATION OF PMO
_THE steering committee of the Aviation Revenue Automation Project (ARAP), inaugurated for the purpose of driving the full automation of all activities in the aviation agencies on Monday submitted its report to the Honourable Minister, Chief Osita Chidoka in Lagos. Among the recommendations of the committee was the need to drive commitment and enforcement to ensure strict compliance by all stakeholders while chief executives of all agencies should be held responsible to ensure that all revenue lines are captured under ARAP platform; also that all agencies should be encouraged to establish the Project Management Office (PMO) as is the case with NAMA. Receiving the report, Chief Chidoka stated that “the power of automation especially in the dynamic world of aviation cannot be wished away as it would facilitate the one aviation vision and also set targets and measurable timelines”. While thanking members for a job well done, Chief Chidoka charged both ministry and the agencies to build the capacity of their ICT units to make them more relevant in the ARAP project. He also gave other aviation agencies 7 days to take a cue from NAMA by creating Project Management Offices.

 PATANI LIGHTS UP AS LATE HON. JUSTICE JAP OKI GOES HOME
_THE rustic and sleepy town of Patani in Delta State could hardly grapple with the avalanche of dignitaries, eminent jurists, politicians and sympathizers from all walks of life, who thronged the country home of an illustrious son of Patani, the late legal icon,  Hon. Justice (Chief) Josiah Ajasa Poutinkumo Oki,  OON, Berebibo of Kabowei Kingdom and  retired Chief Judge of old Bendel State, last weekend, for his final home coming.  It began with a valedictory court session held at the High Court of Justice, Sapele Road, Benin City which was attended by the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and more than a dozen Senior Advocates among others. Back to Patani, the well-attended funeral service also had a strong NAMA showing, with a high-powered delegation led by the Legal Adviser, Mrs Anastasia Gbem. Meanwhile, NAMA Company Secretary, Barr. Paul Oki has expressed his profound appreciation to the MD, Engr. Abdulsalam, and all staff of NAMA for their support and encouragement to the Oki family at their moment of grief.
