The National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) through the aviation authorities has called for the intervention of the federal government to step up proactive security measures to deter attacks on aviation infrastructure across the country.
In a statement signed by the National President of the association, Mrs Susan Akporiaye noted that the process should be backed up with the best global security intelligence architecture, which will nip such negative intentions and breaches in the bud.
In her words: " It's certainly strange to wait to be attacked before we can respond, so we must advise that relevant government security agencies in charge of the critical aviation systems be put on the highest level of alert at the airports and the vicinities." Mrs Akporiaye explained,
She added that all operators and workers in the aviation sector, should also be profiled daily and access to the cargo and passengers’ areas be limited and put under effective surveillance at both local and international airports in the country.
Mrs Akporiaye noted that NANTA condoles with the families of victims of the Kaduna to Abuja rail shootings while praying for a quick recovery of those who were injured.
"Our hearts bleed for our people and nation at this point in time. We urge everyone to remember our leaders and nation in prayers but most importantly, let us join hands together to take back our country from the hands of bandits and sponsors of dislocation of national developmental milestones” She said.
