An indigenous operator in the Aviation sector, NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited is acquiring additional equipment to enhance its service delivery.

The company is acquiring information technology tracking devices, body-worn cameras, control room complete facility rack fitted amongst other support information technology facilities that will capture and relay data for helicopters flying in and out of Nigeria.

Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited, Mr. Chike Stanley stated that the move to re-fleet its equipment profile is part of the company’s strategy to ensure it achieves its objectives on job creation and fulfilling its mandate of generating revenue for the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Speaking on the development, an official of the equipment company in the United Kingdom – Tensor,  Mr Martin Head stated that his company is working with NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited and the Federal Ministry of Aviation & Aerospace Development to achieve the tracking of Helicopters in and out of Nigeria from the control room.

He confirmed the reliability of the equipment describing them as very robust and innovative with a unique software that would aid comprehensive and accurate investigation for the company’s operations.

Stanley said NAEBI Dynamic Concepts Limited will be acquiring a mobile radar to help cover low-level flights from 5000 feet above sea level with high-density cameras and other technological devices to be deployed to the area.

According to him, the thrust is to contribute to increasing the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP)  through the Ministry of Aviation; creating jobs, and reducing security risks and youth restiveness, especially in the Niger Delta region.

He further revealed that the project scope would assist the Government in collating data on the day-to-day movements of helicopters in Nigeria

During the meeting, the Special Advisor to the Minister on Special Projects and Duties, Mr. Christopher Omoaghe spoke on behalf of the Ministry of Aviation & Aerospace Development highlighting the challenges faced by the Ministry including the provision of incorrect schedules and data, as well as the submission of falsified amounts by operators attempting to bypass the system.

Also in the entourage were the Director of Corporate Services, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, and the Deputy Director of Air Transport, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development.

Stanley applauded the team from the Federal Ministry of Aviation & Aerospace Development, for their involvement in the project, assuring them of the company’s capacity to deliver on the set timelines.

He said, ” We intend to train another batch of Helicopter Monitoring Officers (HMOs) in Aviation Security (AVSEC) basic 1, 2, 3, Nigeria College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) courses by the first quarter of 2024, as well as deploy needed equipment that will enhance efficient navigational services.

“We believe in the overall success of this initiative and will continue to do all we can while upholding International standard practice in fulfilling our mandate. This is in furtherance of our aim to forestall revenue losses.

“To this end, we began by consulting with stakeholders in the industry, including the Helicopter Operators, Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)’s Airspace Managers, Air Traffic Controllers, Executive Governors in the Niger Delta Region, and the International Oil Companies (ILOs)/Local Oil Companies (LOCs).
