🎉✨ Congratulations to our staff of the Month of June 2025✨🎉
Engr. Gafaru Ozoya Oboirien
Directorate of Safety Electronics & Engineering Services – Navigational Aids Department
Meet the man who brings precision to the skies! Known affectionately as “Comrade,” “Chairman,” or simply “ICAO” by his colleagues, Engr. Gafaru Ozoya Oboirien is our shining star for June 2025.
A seasoned professional with a sharp eye for detail and a heart for service, Engr. Gafaru has been a cornerstone of aviation safety since joining NAMA on July 26, 2006.
From leading the installation and maintenance of critical systems to serving as a dedicated safety coordinator, he steadily contributes shaping the future of air navigation in Nigeria.
Armed with credentials from NCAT Zaria, Shenyang Aerospace University (China), and Bayero University Kano, he also holds an ATSEP license with multiple technical ratings. But beyond the titles and qualifications lies a man driven by curiosity and purpose. According to him “Every flight inspection, every calibrated aid—it’s more than a task. It’s a promise of safety, a mark of trust,”
With strong passions in aviation safety, emerging technologies, finance, and artificial intelligence, Engr. Gafaru constantly pushes boundaries, both in the field and in thought. Despite his achievements, he remains grounded, often the first to arrive at work and the first to lend a helping hand.
His message to fellow staff:
“Whatever your role, do it with excellence and integrity. Stay curious. Work as a team. Because when we look to the skies, we all carry the same mission to ensure safety, efficiency, and national service.”
Off duty, he recharges with family and dives deeper into research- always exploring, always evolving.
Congratulations, Engr. Gafaru—you’ve earned your place in the spotlight! 🌟
