The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) said from April, all aircrafts flying within Nigeria’s airspace or over-flying it, would be tracked and automatically billed. NAMA’s Operations Executive Director, Mr. Adebisi Adedara, said that the auto billing would start in April this year, when the Total Radar Coverage of Nigerian (TRACON) project becomes fully operational.

Already, Lagos and Abuja sites are fully operational. Port Harcourt site is almost ready for deployment, while Kano site has crossed 70% completion phase. Adedara said that TRACON was aimed at providing total radar coverage for Nigeria’s airspace. He said that it would enhance civil and military surveillance of aircrafts flying into the country’s airspace as well as eliminate the use of manual billing system.

According to Adedara, the Auto Billing System (ABS) is built into TRACON and can easily capture aircraft that enters or operate within the Nigerian airspace. He said that the project awarded by the Federal Executive Council in 2003 with a completion period of 36 months was 97 per cent completed. ( Continues below….. )

The project which contract was signed between NAMA and Thales S.A of France, will be completed by the end of March. “We were able to get the Federal Government’s support and today the TRACON project is almost completed. Lagos and Abuja are running and Kano will be tested on February 23″, he said. Adedara also disclosed that NAMA had secured government approval for the purchase of Very High Frequency Radio (VHF) coverage of the airspace.

He explained that the VHF navigation aid would improve effective communication of air traffic controllers. He added that contract for the automation of Aeronautical Information System (AIS) unit had also been awarded, adding that the equipment would be manned by trained personnel. According to him, the agency has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nigerian Navy and Air Force on the training of Air Traffic Controllers.

I've started the Holosync Answer (Awakening Prologue) for a couple of weeks and it is been a excellent encounter. I really feel mentally awake and a little a lot more focused. A lot of people within the Yahoo Answers forum have been knocking this system simply because they believe it is supposed to make them a Buddha overnight (or inside a brief period of time). It is like heading to church for a although, not pursuing God's Law after which wondering why they did not get to heaven. Another problem is the fact that they attempt to download/burn the CDs off the Web and claim that they do not "see" the results after trying it for weeks as well as months. Let me solution these problems in two parts.

Comment from: Pool Tables [Visitor] · http://www.pooltables.com

I wonder what the Nigerian governments motivation for this initiative is. By increasing rates they'd reduce air traffic which would also lead to a decrease in pollution. But at the same time, by increasing rates they are at the same time giving companies and investors and incentive NOT to fly over/operate in Nigeria. So they country would have cleaner air, but also a lack of development. Which would they rather have?
