Ex-Aviation Minister, Chidoka faults Emirates Airline’s return to Nigeria

Former Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Osita Chidoka, has expressed opposition to the resumption of Emirates Airline’s operations in Nigeria.

In a statement on X.com on Wednesday, Chidoka condemned the United Arab Emirates government and Emirates Airline for their “blatant attack on the dignity of Nigerians” through the unwarranted visa ban and suspension of flights.

Chidoka said the unwarranted visa ban on all Nigerians to the suspension of flights have been nothing short of a blatant attack on the dignity of Nigerians.

The statement read, “No to the return of Emirates Airlines to Nigeria. The gleeful announcement of the return of Emirates Airline to Nigeria by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, on X is a sad reminder of the deepening lack of national pride and the growing irrelevance of Nigeria in the world.
