Nigerian Government to End Sale of Flight Tickets in Dollars by Foreign Airlines, Boost Local Aviation Sector

The Nigerian government, through the Nigerian Association of Travel Agencies (NANTA) and its president Yinka Folami, is set to halt the practice of foreign airlines selling flight tickets in dollars. This move is intended to alleviate the strain on the naira and revitalize the country's aviation industry.

Air Peace, a Nigerian carrier, has been commended for its efforts in launching new routes and garnering support from patriotic Nigerians. The government aims to eliminate the outdated system of ticket sales in foreign currencies to bolster the local aviation sector.
