The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has achieved a 76.5% compliance score in the 2024 Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard (EICS) conducted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). This rating signifies substantial compliance with ethical and integrity standards across federal agencies.
In a statement, Abdullahi Musa, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, disclosed that the ICPC, in a post-deployment letter dated February 6, 2025, reported:
“Sequel to the deployment, scoring, and ratings of assessed MDAs, your documents were analyzed, and your agency had a score of 76.5%, which connotes substantial compliance on the EICS and a non-existent status in the AEI (ACTU Effectiveness Index).”
Welcoming the report, NAMA’s Managing Director, Engr. Umar Ahmed Farouk, reaffirmed the agency’s dedication to transparency, accountability, and strict adherence to financial regulations.
“We appreciate this recognition from the ICPC as an integrity watchdog. At NAMA, we uphold professional standards, ensuring transparency in all our operations. Safety is sacrosanct, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption,” Farouk stated.
He further emphasized that this achievement strengthens NAMA’s resolve to improve its integrity rating and align with global best practices, including Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) outlined in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs).
The ICPC introduced the Ethics and Integrity Compliance Scorecard in 2019 to promote transparency, integrity, and accountability in public institutions. The annual assessment evaluates compliance with financial regulations and the efficiency of service delivery among government agencies.
NAMA’s strong performance in the 2024 evaluation underscores its commitment to ethical governance and operational integrity. Moving forward, the agency aims to strengthen its compliance framework and uphold the highest standards in public service.
