While at the Women In Aviation Conference 2011, ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, had the unique opportunity to sit down and talk with Elizabeth Evelyn Idoko Agom, the Director of Finance and Administration for the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
When Campbell asked her what she hoped to take away from this convention, she replied that she was here to learn. Agom said she attended the convention last year and learned a lot, and hopes to learn more this year. Her long-term plan is to urge her home country administration to promote aviation education for younger people and to include women in this conversation.
She said that she expects aviation to grow even faster in Nigeria because of progress that has been made in air traffic control systems, and radar coverage for the country. Nigeria is adopting technologies to help it grow as a viable destination for major airlines. She describes how the growth of the air traffic control system in Nigeria is also benefiting other West African countries.
In this video you’ll meet a very interesting woman talking about progress in her country. She is a credit to the development and modernization of aviation in Nigeria and an outstanding spokesperson for women in aviation.
