Photo: FACEBOOK It does appear that the pervading problem of insecurity and common criminality are teaming up with the lack of maintenance culture to pose an avoidable danger to the Nigerian aviation sector. This much can be garnered from the concerns mounting over the safety of aircraft taking off and landing at the country’s airspace. On the one hand is the issue of obsolete facilities at the nation’s airports, which may have worsened going by alarm raised by the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA). On the other hand is vandalism of its navigational aids. The twin problems pose embarrassment and danger to the safety of aircraft. The problems need to be addressed promptly by the authorities.
