He said the executives will engage the NAMA management to see the need to provide very efficient operational vehicles to all stations as their job has to do with safety and security.

Meanwhile, the immediate past president of NAAE, Mr Ishaya Dung has described his tenure as eventful, challenging but successful. Dung, who spoke to journalists immediately after handing over to the new executives noted that his challenges were numerous, but a few quickly come to mind such as the cancellation of the 2021 NAAE AGM/Elections due to internal wrangling.
He also identified agitations for improved welfare for members and provision of adequate working tools/equipment as one of the challenges faced.
The former NAAE boss congratulated the new executives and advised them to have a listening ear, to employ scientific reasoning and strategic thinking and as well consult widely and apply wisdom and diplomacy in addressing issues that affect members and the ATSEP profession at large.
“With the above few words of advice, I wish them success throughout their tenure.”
