Nigeria's air traffic controllers are threatening to withdraw their services due to the deteriorating communication and surveillance infrastructure, which is putting pressure on aviation safety. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) has stated that without a clear plan for upgrading the country's systems, it may be forced to consider this move.
NATCA President Edino Amos pointed out that despite government approvals and procurement milestones, there has been no significant improvement in the equipment used by controllers.
