Nigerian Senate Probes Aviation Minister Keyamo Over High Flight Fares

The Nigerian Senate has taken a firm step in investigating Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo over the soaring cost of flight fares in the country. During a plenary session, concerns were raised about the sharp jump in ticket prices, with examples of flights from Abuja to Lagos costing between N400,000 to N600,000.

Senators criticized the sudden spike in fares, calling for explanations from Keyamo and industry stakeholders. Key points include the dissatisfaction with the 400% fare increment, demands for justifications on cost increases, and criticisms of airline operations.
