NAMA Commences Business Process Re-engineering 

The Managing Director of Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Engr. Tayib Odunowo says a business process re-engineering in the agency has been introduced since he assumed office a few months ago.

Speaking during an interactive forum of NAMA management with members of League of Airport & Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) in Lagos, Odunowo said he had started building synergy among personnel of the organization and has constituted a projects review committee to review NAMA’s close to 20 ongoing projects across the country.

Odunowo said a Controller-to-Pilot information sharing forum has been created so that NAMA management now interacts with pilots across the country.

He identified automation as one of the challenges that he met stating that in this era of airspace modernization, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) need automation most.

“In NAMA, we want to capitalize on Information Technology,” he said.

Odunowo said there is emphasis on training and that NAMA intends to sign more agreements for virtual training.

In his remarks, the Director of Operations, Mr. Matthew Pwajok said multilateration systems have been established in Port Harcourt and that NAMA has 29 sites in the entire Niger Delta area where transmitters are to be installed.

He said the installations can be done before the end of 2023 if security challenges in the region permit it.

On calibration, he said two inspectors had been trained while two pilots had been engaged and sent for training in the United Kingdom.

He said Beyelsa, Anambra and Asaba airports were due for flight commissioning in November 2023, staging that funding was one of the agency’s major challenge.
