The Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) Capt. FolaAkinkuotu has urged the agency workers to creatively adopt strategies that could assist in boosting the agency’s revenues.
Akinkuotu also called on the workers to come up with procedures, processes and innovations that would correct all the existing imperfections in the revenue collection system of the agency in order to boost its revenue base.
Akinkuotu, who gave this charge in his opening remarks at the 2017 Commercial Department Officers’ Retreat which held in Lagos recently, said as a department saddled with the responsibility of actualising the economic objective of the agency, it behoves the staff to operate a transparent platform whereby all the agency’s earnings are clearly harvested through proper issuance of invoices for settlement of charges, stressing that the realisation of the budget estimates by the agency can only be actualised through diligent processing of returns by personnel of Commercial Department. Earlier in her welcome address, the General Manager, Commercial, Mrs. Joy Umeh said the retreat was to create a forum for learning where all staff would be equipped with latest trends in handling complex issues relating to revenue collection.
Umeh also expressed optimism that grey areas relating to the job will be resolved as participants used the platform to share their experiences, compare notes and come up with more efficient ways of harnessing the agency’s resources. With participants drawn from 26 stations across the country, the three-day Annual Commercial Department Officers’ Retreat, had the theme: Revenue Generation-A Veritable Tool for Financing Air Navigation Services.
