The Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Engr Ahmed Umar Farouk, has urged general managers in the agency to ensure that NAMA’s processes and procedures maintain optimal standards to keep pace with those of air navigation service providers (ANSPs) globally.
Farouk made this charge while declaring open the 2024 General Managers’ Retreat, which held in Keffi, Nassarawa State with the theme, “Effective Leadership & Resource Management in the Provision of Air Navigation Services in a Depressed Economy”.
He emphasized that enhanced productivity, efficient service delivery, and innovation are key to achieving this goal.
The NAMA MD noted that the burden of implementing the agency’s strategic plan rests squarely on the shoulders of general managers, who are the “trigger point” to drive and achieve NAMA’s mission statement.
He urged them to remain resilient in the face of daunting challenges and to work together to achieve the agency’s set goals.
Farouk also expressed confidence that the incentives provided by management would further motivate general managers to achieve the agency’s set goals and ensure that they are accorded the status befitting of their positions as industry best practice dictates.
The chairperson of NAMA general managers’ forum, Dr Joy Umeh, appreciated NAMA management for the “remarkable steps taken to ensure improved working conditions for general managers and the generality of the workforce.”
She urged her colleagues to explore the advantages of collaboration, synergy, and networking among departments to foster growth, harmony, and development within the system.
