An Air Traffic Controller (ATC) of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) on Monday morning slumped and died on duty post at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.
The controller, identified as Inuk Effiong, Assistant General, Operations, NAMA, was said to be in his early 40s as at the time he died on duty on Monday at 4am.
Effiong was the second controller that has died in the last two weeks in NAMA.
He was said to have died on the spot right in front of the airport gate after he was hit.
Our correspondent gathered that help could not immediately come to the deceased controller because of vehicular restrictions to the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria (TRACON) site.
‘’Before they could get a vehicle and rush him to the hospital he passed on. I wish to appeal to the authorities particularly his immediate constituency NAMA, the magnanimous Minister of Aviation and the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to please come to the immediate aid of his young family with the hope also that he will be compensated adequately to encourage others.”
