President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised Nigeria’s impressive 91.45 per cent aviation safety rating awarded by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), describing it as a major boost to the country’s global reputation and investor confidence.
Stakeholders and professionals in the aviation industry have adopted differing positions regarding the allegation that some airlines were involved in price fixing during the last festive season in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s aviation industry is set for a major investment drive as the Federal Government moves to establish aerotropolises, airports integrated with commercial cities, logistics hubs, and industrial clusters, across key cities.
The Federal Government has appropriated N87.3 billion to the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and four other agencies in the 2026 appropriation bill sent to the National Assembly last December.
