Lagos — Following media report concerning a near mid air collusion in the nation's airspace in Lagos on Sunday, allegedly due to radar failure, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) yesterday denied that its communication and radar systems at the Murtala Muhammed Airport collapsed and said that there was no averted air disaster.
Conducting aviation journalists round the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria (TRACON) Site of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos, the agency's Director of Operations, Engr. Bisi Adedara, confirmed the radar encountered a temporal hitch due to power outage on Sunday but that it does not affect its functionality as the two new 250 KVA generators were on standby to provide alternative power supply for the gadgets.
Engr. Adedara explained that it was obvious that the story was not true as it was reported only in one paper (not Daily Trust) and that the agency was not contacted for explanation, which made the report invalid.
