Narrative:
At direction of management, controllers were instructed to turn on and use an ILS approach that was notamed OTS. The aircraft were being cleared for the approach with the NOTAM still in effect and construction and runway closure (reason for NOTAM) in progress. Other approachs were available. This could have been prevented by using other approachs or request the airport manager stop construction and cancel NOTAM.
