It was further gathered that the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) shut down air navigation services for flights in and out of the airport over power supply to NAMA facilities and staff accommodations that were disconnected.
It was learnt that FAAN, last Friday, disconnected power supply to all NAMA staff accommodations due to non-payment of electricity bills.
