The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), under the supervision of the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, and the leadership of its Managing Director, Engr. Farouk Ahmed Umar, has recorded landmark achievements in airspace management.
In a ceremony held in Abuja, the Managing Director led other top management staff to present the prestigious ISO 9001 certification to the Minister, a testament to the agency’s adherence to global best practices and its robust Quality Management System.
The Minister lauded NAMA’s remarkable strides, describing the certification as a perfect end-of-year gift and a strong validation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to the Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Minister, Tunde Moshood, the achievement represented the culmination of an eight-year journey that began in 2016 following an International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) audit, which identified critical gaps in Nigeria’s airspace management.

“Adding to its accolades, NAMA was recently recognised as one of Nigeria’s best-performing service delivery agencies, receiving the Award of Excellence for Quality Service Delivery from the SERVICOM Presidency, Nigeria.
“This historic recognition marks the first time NAMA has been honoured since the establishment of its SERVICOM department in 2004.
