I agree with Mr. Olowo. The Nigerian government is best advised to STAY OUT of any subsidy, bailout or participation of the airline business…not that the Nigerian government ever listens to good advice!!!
The Nigerian government – and the Nigerian commercial aviation industry itself – share, almost equally, in the abysmal financial and operational…DISASTER…it has become.

The ‘FG’ operates on the philosophy that ALL the money generated by airline companies – BELONGS TO THE ‘FG’ !! The ‘FG’ routinely views airline rvenues…in the same way a lion views a fat gazelle. The ‘lion’ believes that ‘gazelle’ is HIS…and will fight to keep it.
There are numerous other problems within the industry – which the FG has no business in being involved.
The MOST important deficiency in Nigerian aviation is: MAINTENANCE…or more accurately…NO MAINTENANCE. Until the airline industry concedes they will NEVER make it – unless they find an approach to solving their own maintenance deficiencies.
I have the solution. I have the fully developed plan. I have the money to do it.
Does anyone in Nigeria care?
