The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria has appealed to the Federal Government to place the aviation sector at the forefront of its renewed hope agenda.<\/p>\n
The Executive-Director of NCSCN, Blessing Akinlosotu, made the appeal on Monday in Abuja, while briefing journalists on the state of the aviation industry.<\/p>\n
“Mr Akinlosotu, who said that Nigerians accounted for over 70 per cent of the entire travelling statistics of Africa, said the aviation sector in Nigeria was critical to national development.Air Peace must be protected, rewarded and honoured for this patriotic gesture. The council hereby calls on Nigerians to patronise Air Peace in the Lagos-London route. This is irrespective of the deceptive lower pricing of the foreign conspirators, as this will save our naira and further grow our national economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The executive-director commended President Bola Tinubu for his support to Air peace through the minister of aviation, adding that such an act marked a sharp departure from the past.<\/p>\n
Mr Akinlosotu, who decried hike in airline fares by Air Travel Service Providers and airline operators, said such posed difficulties for travellers from Nigeria to many international destinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
