The Managing Director of NAMA, Engineer Umar Farouk, reiterated this objective during a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Airforce Headquarters in Abuja, where he engaged in discussions with the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar.
Farouk affirmed the ongoing partnership between NAMA and the Nigerian Airforce, recognising the critical role the Airforce plays in safeguarding Nigeria’s airspace.
He expressed appreciation for the existing cooperation and expressed eagerness to explore new avenues for mutual benefit.
The NAMA Managing Director emphasised that strengthened collaboration between the two entities is pivotal in enhancing airspace management, safety, and security nationwide.
On his path, Hassan underscored the importance of maintaining a steadfast commitment to the partnership, emphasising its significant impact on the safety and efficiency of Nigeria’s aviation sector.
Additionally, he urged NAMA’s cooperation in achieving the final accreditation of the Air Traffic School Training Centre (ATSTC) in Kaduna. This accreditation, he highlighted, will contribute significantly to bolstering manpower and capacity within both the Nigerian Airforce and civil aviation.
The partnership between NAMA and the Nigerian Airforce represents a shared commitment to ensuring the safety and security of Nigeria’s airspace.
By fostering collaboration and pursuing innovative initiatives, both organisations aim to elevate the standards of airspace management and enhance the overall aviation landscape in Nigeria.
