A group of aviation unions in Nigeria is urging the Federal Government to privatise or commercialise the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). Reports say the unions, acting through a Joint Action Committee (JAC) and related union leadership, are making the request to modernise Nigeria’s air navigation infrastructure and improve aviation safety. They argue that shifting NAMA toward a commercial or private structure would help strengthen air navigation services and bring Nigeria closer to global best practices in airspace management. The outlets describe the unions’ position as a push for reform of how NAMA is run, rather than a request to abandon airspace functions altogether. While the specific mechanism—full privatisation versus commercialisation—is presented as an option, both reports emphasise the same overall goal: upgrading capabilities for air navigation and enhancing safety outcomes. The unions’ calls are directed at the Federal Government, indicating that any changes would require policy and regulatory action.
