The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, (NAMA) at the weekend received  award for Effective and Efficient Service Delivery in the aviation industry and one of the most outstanding public institutions in Nigeria for the year 2011-2012.

The award which was given by the Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group (ISDMG) was held at the Ladi Kwali Hall, Sheraton Hotel, Abuja . The Agency was also given a trophy for its excellent performance in the industry as the second most outstanding public institution in Nigeria for the year 2011-2012. This award according to the organisers was based on the outcome of the votes of Nigerians between 2011-2012. 

The award was received on behalf of the Managing Director of NAMA, Engr Mazi Nnamdi Udoh by the General Manager, Finance, Mr. Segun  Agbolade. 

In his acceptance speech on behalf of the agency,Mr. Agbolade said the organisation was highly elated and honoured while promising  Nigerians that the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)  “will strive hard to remain the best aviation navigation service provider (ANSP) in the world” adding that this “award will spur the agency to do more in ensuring air safety and excellence in the aviation industry in Nigeria”.

He thanked the Independent Service Delivery Monitoring Group (ISDMG) for the honour given to the agency. Earlier in a welcome address ,the Executive Director of ISDMG, Dr. Chima Amadi said that the “integrity of the assessment was not anyway compromised by the fact that the institutions assessed picked the cost of assessment but in arriving at the point of awarding the institutions, ISDMG sent freedom of Information request to about 700 MDAs nationwide and from the responses gathered independently from the assessors of the group, we drew up the awardees”.

He also said that the votes of Nigerians counted in selecting the Public Institutions that were documented in their final report saying that “the fact that the drivers of the MDAs are Nigerians and not foreign consultants proved that only Nigerians can bring about the much vaunted dividends of democracy and the realization of the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan and vision 20:2020 programme of the present administration”.

The agency in the last 12 months had been inundated with more than 18 awards for high quality service delivery on air traffic services.
