He further charged management of NLA to be mindful of how they handle revenue.
“We implore all the management to be mindful about how they handle revenue generation in the operations of NLA,” he said.

“As we launch our 60th anniversary, we have a series of activities planned. Over the next three months, it would be an interesting journey for anyone who decides to partner with us.”
“We have dedicated the month of October to our cherished customers, whom we recognise as our most valued assets. The month of November is slated for our good causes. In this month, we will give back to society by commissioning some projects we have been able to embark upon in various parts of the country. This would be climaxed with a grand durbar of the anniversary which will be celebrated in December,” he said.
