Terrorist Attacks: NANTA urges activation of red alert

President of the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA), Mrs. Susan Akporiaye, has charged the Federal Government and aviation authorities to activate proactive security measures to curb further attacks on aviation infrastructure across the country.

Akporiaye suggested 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 The Trumpet gathered.

It is 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,” she said.

She appealed that the process should be backed up with the best global security intelligence architecture, which would checkmate negative intentions and breaches.

She stressed that operators and workers in the aviation sector should be profiled daily, while access to the cargo and passenger areas should be limited and effective surveillance initiated at local and international airports across the country.
