The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has announced the suspension of its previously proposed 800% increase in navigational charges, following an intervention by Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development.
The decision to pause the dramatic hike, which was initially set to take effect, was communicated by Abdullahi Musa, NAMA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, in a statement issued on Monday.
Musa clarified that the agency’s reversal was made in compliance with Keyamo’s directive, who recognized the severe economic strain currently affecting many Nigerians.
