 NAMA MOVES TO IMPROVE INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE







 The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has begun moves to shore up its revenue base in order to effectively meet its core obligation of air navigation service provision within the Nigerian airspace to stakeholders.

 This move according to NAMA Managing Director, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu became imperative owing to the rising 
commitments of the agency in the area of upgrading navigational infrastructure, enhancing air traffic management services, building staff capacity as well as other personnel costs. 
 Akinkuotu who made these remarks while receiving the report of the Revenue Mobilization Committee set up by the agency said management would carefully study the report 
with a view to implementing relevant aspects of it.


He said  an improvement in the revenue profile of the agency would translate to a more robust NAMA, discharging its functions in a more efficient manner.


 He however enjoined staff to be more prudent and avoid wastages in order to make this dream realizable.

Recall  that in the quest to improve its revenue generating capacity, the agency recently inaugurated a Revenue Mobilization Committee whose core term of reference was to extensively deliberate on the agency’s statutory revenue sources and develop strategies for more effective ways of generation and collection

The committee which sat between February and April 2018 came up with recommendations, some of which include improvement on the frequency of stakeholder engagement especially on matters relating to service delivery.

Other recommendations include :  media enlightenment of customers through various platforms; provision of incentives for prompt payment by customers; improvement on the agency’s e-payment platform.


Others are : deployment of Point of Sales (POS) in all revenue payment points nationwide and maintaining constant liaison with the regulator and stakeholders in matters relating to the review of charges.

In a move aimed at mudslinging, Aviation Elders accused  Najomo of handling safety matters with levity. Aviation Elders  accused Najomo of trivializing the sector by allegedly announcing his confirmation by himself in a video when the National Assembly has not done so.

NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Michael Achimugu has  countered all the allegations saying the...
