NAMA commences implementation of FG executive order

In a bid to key into the recent executive order by the Federal Government on the ease of doing business in the country, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has begun its immediate implementation with the Managing Director, Captain Fola Akinkuotu driving the process.

Akinkuotu noted that in order to beat the June 8 deadline for full implementation, the agency has already updated its website showing the requirements, conditions and procedures for doing business or obtaining services in NAMA including all fees and timelines necessary for the processing of applications for the services.

He also disclosed that the agency shall be organising workshop sessions to adequately enlighten and sensitize both staff and industry stakeholders on the essence and imperative of the executive orders adding that the agency shall also be collaborating with other aviation agencies with a view to harmonising processes in order to achieve the single user interface at the airports as directed by the federal government.

Capt. Akinkuotu also hinted that in compliance with the order, the agency was working out modalities to increase local content in its procurement process as this would boost locally manufactured goods in the country.

This is just the agency has said that the Nigeria Police Force remained a dependable ally as the agency embarks on the implementation of the Federal Government Executive Orders.

Earlier in his remarks, Airport Command, Mr Basen Gwana said their visit to the agency was to ensure that the Airport Police Command has direct interface with all stakeholders in the sector where issues of mutual interest would be addressed.
