The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), yesterday, said it ensured a 24-hour operation at all airports across the country on February 15 to facilitate the transportation of INEC materials nationwide.

General Manager, Public Affairs of NAMA, Mr. Khalid Emele, disclosed this in a statement in Lagos, in apparent reaction to claim that poor weather condition hampered disrupted airlifting of sensitive voting materials.

INEC had hinged the rescheduling of the Presidential and National Assembly Elections from February 16 to February 23 on logistics reasons.

But Emele said there was no disruption in the provision of air traffic services on February 16.

He said the provision of the 24-hour navigation services was based on directive from the Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika.

According to him, this was in keeping with the agency’s mandate of providing uninterrupted safe, effective, efficient, and economic air navigation services in the country.

“NAMA wishes to reassure all airspace users and the general public that the Nigerian airspace shall remain open for all airspace users before, during and after the rescheduled general election.

“The agency has put in place appropriate contingency measures to ensure safe flight operations within the period, as well as possible extension of operational hours of any domestic airport where the need arises,’’ he said.

He advised airline operators, the travelling public and other service providers who were dependent on the agency’s services to carry on with their businesses as usual.

However, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has asked Nigerians to “hold successive governments since the return of democracy in 1999 and the leadership of the National Assembly responsible for the patently unlawful postponement of the 2019 general elections.”

“Given the increasing tendency to postpone elections and the cumulative failures and corruption over the years, SERAP would, after the elections, pursue appropriate legal action against the government in power and the National Assembly leadership for the catalogue of breaches of constitutional and international obligations, and seek effective remedies for the citizens,” it said in a statement signed by its deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare.
