Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), is set to unveil installation of CAT II Instrument Landing System (ILS), at Maiduguri, Jos and Minna airports in the northern parts of the country.
This is coming on the heels of commissioning of similar Category II Instrument at the Benin City Airport, Edo state capital.
Managing Director of NAMA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu said this at a town hall meeting with staff at the agency’s headquarters annex in Ikeja Lagos.
Akinkuotu said this was in line with an earlier pledge by the agency to upgrade navigational infrastructure in strategic airports across the country in a bid to boost socio-economic activities in such areas.
He also said that the agency has equally installed and commissioned the ILS at Port Harcourt airport which was damaged by an aircraft last year, saying that the “flight commissioning which was handled by Omni-Blue Aviation Ltd indicated that the newly installed landing aids were operating at optimal capacity”.
The NAMA boss told his staff “that in line with management’s objective to maintain a healthy and productive workforce, the agency had concluded plans to enroll NAMA into the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in the next two months”, just as he assured them that “the contentious issue of review of Condition of Service (COS) was being handled and would soon be concluded by government”.
