Stakeholders Blame Government for Non-Implementation of Fly Nigeria Act
The article discusses stakeholders blaming government officials, including Chinedu Ez and Festus Keyamo, for the non-implementation of the Fly Nigeria Act, designed to support Nigerian carriers. Arik Air's management sought support from the National Assembly to pass the law.
Keyamo proposed a bill mandating government officials to patronize Nigerian airlines on international routes. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) officials were criticized for not flying Nigerian carriers, opting for foreign airlines instead.
Despite delays, Keyamo continues to advocate for the enforcement of the Fly Nigeria Act to boost local airlines' success.
