By  Saleh Adamu Kwaru CNA, FCCSA (USA) Although the aviation industry in Nigeria is making strides, there remains a crucial need to tighten regulations and ensure that sanctions are enforced where necessary. The lack of due respect for customers has significantly contributed to the observed shortcomings.

Airlines must prioritize the needs and expectations of passengers by ensuring timely departures and arrivals, providing clear and accurate information, and addressing complaints promptly and effectively.

Emerging Concern: Youth Demonstrators in Nigeria Waving Russian Flags- Dr Sa'idu Ahmad Dukawa

A growing issue of urgent concern is the use of Russian flags by some youth engaged in so-called peaceful demonstrations in Nigeria.
