This is as the agency also disclosed that it has commenced calibration of navigational equipment at some airports across the country to enhance air safety.
The Managing Director, NAMA, Mr. Nnamdi Udoh, in a statement stated that the routine calibration exercise commenced at the Kebbi State-owned Birnin Kebbi airport where newly installed Doppler Very High Omnidirectional Radio Range, DVOR, Distance Measuring Equipment, DME, and Instrument Landing System, ILS, were commissioned.
Udoh stated that routine checks on VOR/DME equipment at Sokoto, Jos and Abuja are to be carried out by the technical team including the Precision Approach Path Indicator, PAPI, of the Abuja and Kaduna airports. The glide slope of Kaduna will be re-checked as well.
Also, he hinted that the newly installed Conventional VOR/ DME at Enugu airport will be commissioned soon while the VOR/DME at Owerri and ILS/ DME at Ilorin are for routine check.
He informed that a week exercise is being handled by a Dakar based Calibration firm, ASECNA.
Udoh added that the calibration of the navaids would assist in putting all the navigational aids in proper shape at these airports. IITA technologies help cassava farmers double yields (P34 2nd)

Allied Atlantic Distilleries Limited has said that improved varieties and best-bet agronomic practices in the production of cassava, obtained from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA, and passed on to farmers have almost doubled the yield of the root crop, making it possible for farmers to supply more of this raw material to the industry than earlier expected.
The plant, commissioned last week in Lasada, Igbese community in Ogun State, the ethanol factory will produce nine million litres per annum of extra neutral alcohol, requiring approximately 250 tons of cassava per day.
Already over 8,000 farmers located within 70-km radius of Igbesa covering Ogun and Oyo states, southwest Nigeria, have been engaged and the factory is providing more than 40,000 indirect jobs to people in the area, Chairman of AADL, Mr. Ola Rosiji, said.
