The Ministry of Aviation has removed Mr. Mathew Pwajok as the Acting Managing Director, Nigeria Airspace Management Agency, NAMA.
Barely 48 hours after the replacement of the Federal Airport
Authority of Nigeria, FAAN’s Managing Director, Rabiu Yadudu, the Federal
Government has again replaced the acting Managing Director of the Nigerian
Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, Mr. Mathew Pwajok.
Pwajok was replaced by the Director of Aerodrome and
Airspace Standards, Engr. Tayib Odunowo, whose appointment is yet to be
confirmed officially.
The development confirms Vanguard’s report that a similar
development that occurred in FAAN, will be carried outto other agencies which
includes NAMA, National Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), among other
agencies under the Ministry of Aviation.
NAMA is an agency in the aviation sector, established to
develop airspace infrastructure to meet the requirements of the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs).
Meanwhile, fresh indications have emerged that plans are
underway to redeploy certain directors to spare head various agencies in the
sector, a development which stakeholders have frowned at.
Pwajok was appointed in acting capacity in February 2022 and
has since exceeded the six(6) months acting stewardship of the agency.
