“The amount of N1.7bn has been spent in procuring these mobile towers. We will use them in Lagos and Abuja and if need be we take them to locations that do not have conventional control towers. They are so equipped, so modernised, so efficient and so very alive. They have everything a control tower should have.
“We have real-time weather, we have all of the approach and departure procedures and over-flight to ensure smooth flight operations and air traffic management.”
The Managing Director of NAMA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, said the mobile towers would be useful during emergency operations.
Director of Operations, NAMA, Mr Mathew Pwajok, said there are already two others; one in Abuja providing ground control services because the presidential tower is obscured by the new international terminal building, and one in Maiduguri, Borno State.
