Yola, Owerri, Ilorin and Enugu got the green light because they have the right gear to support evening traffic according to NAMA's director general, Ahmed Farouk. AirPeace also scored temporary approval to fly routes into Anambra and Asaba. The agency rolled out free route airspace to cut fuel costs and carbon emissions while helping air traffic controllers manage their workload better. President Bola Tinubu approved special money for NAMA to upgrade equipment instead of waiting for regular budget allocations. Aviation minister Festus Keyamo said the funding shift means the agency can actually fix its tech instead of begging for cash every budget cycle. [/QUOTE]
