Air Peace Offers 1,000 Graduate Jobs After Government Suspends Import Levy

Air Peace, Nigeria's largest airline, announced the creation of 1,000 graduate jobs through its Graduate Trainee Programme following the Nigerian government's suspension of a controversial import levy. The government's decision to suspend the 4% import levy came after consultations with industry players warning of potential disruptions and increased costs.

Stakeholders argued that the levy could escalate inflation, reduce trade competitiveness, and threaten small businesses. Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyema, expressed gratitude for the government's decision, emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses and avoiding market destabilization due to additional import charges.
