Pecohub The Federal Government will spend over N21 billion on the first phase of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) headquarters in Abuja.
Mr Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, disclosed this on Thursday at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new NAMA corporate headquarters.
Keyamo said the contractor, MESSRS NHD Interbiz Projects Ltd., was expected to complete the phase within 30 months.
“We will hold them to the highest standards of quality and timelines as stipulated in the agreement.
“The contract is valued at N21.68 billion, inclusive of all taxes, with a completion period of 30 months,” he said.
Keyamo described the project as deliberate action under Executive Order 12.
“This groundbreaking is not an isolated event. It is a direct and deliberate action pursuant to Executive Order 12,” he said.
He said government remained committed to modernising infrastructure underpinning the safety, efficiency and growth of Nigerian aviation.

“With this new headquarters, we are providing a conducive environment that fosters innovation, enhances collaboration and boosts staff morale.
