Nigeria TRACON project best in Africa - NAMA
The Board of the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency said on Sunday in Abuja that the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria project was one of the best in Africa.
The Chairman of the board, Alhaji Abubakar, made the assertion in an interview with the 'News Agency of Nigeria' after a facility tour of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
I can tell you categorically that we have state-of-the-art equipment at the airport and that the TRACON equipment is one of the best in Africa and the world.
"This is due to President Umaru Yar'Adua's commitment to ensuring that Nigeria's airspace is safe, thereby building passengers confidence in the flying", he said.
The project was completed and inaugurated early in the year to aid Air traffic controllers in controlling the landing and take-off of aircraft at the nation's airports.
Baraje said the TRACON project for Lagos airport had been completed, while those of Kano and Port-Harcourt airports were ongoing.
