📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has called on the National Assembly to increase its share of the statutory aviation revenue pool from 22% to 56%. NAMA's Managing Director, Engr. Farouk Ahmed Umar, emphasized that the current revenue-sharing formula does not adequately reflect the agency's responsibilities in maintaining air navigation safety. During a public hearing, the African Aviation and Aerospace University (AAAU) also requested a 10% allocation from the five percent Ticket Sales Charge for aviation manpower development. Umar highlighted that effective air navigation services require strong funding and resources, as they are critical for ensuring passenger safety from the moment a flight is planned until it takes off. He assured that the proposed increase would not raise the existing charge but would provide a more sustainable allocation to NAMA. The agency's responsibilities are extensive and require continuous, technology-intensive operations to ensure safe flight operations across Nigeria.
