The Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association has raised concerns over the shortage of air traffic controllers in the country, emphasizing the urgent need for recruitment and training to ensure airspace safety.
NATCA President Amos Edino stated that the current staffing deficit has led to excessive workloads, extended duty hours, and heightened stress levels, which could impact both performance and safety.
Edino made this disclosure in an interview with pressmen at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Tuesday.
