Published

on

As part of its benchmarking efforts in the air cargo business, FAAN and the Aviacargo Team from the Nigeria was on another fact-finding visit this time to Kotoka International Airport Cargo facilities.

The team was led by the Director of Commercial and Business Development Olumyiwa Femi-Pearse. The trip was with the support of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority GCAA and the Ghana Airport Company Ltd GACL. The trip is part of the effort by the Nigerian Team to ramp up aviacargo ausiness in Nigeria. Nigeria is currently ranked Number 5 in Africa behind aviacargo leaders Kenya, Egypt South Africa and Ethiopia. As the biggest economy and the largest population Nigeria receives over 10 fully loaded freighters weekly and most leave empty.

To redress this the government of Nigeria set up an Aviacargo Roadmap Committee with Ikechi Uko as the Coordinator of the project. During the Visit to Accra Ghana they were received at the Airport by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority GCAA and the Ghana Airport Company Ltd GACL led by Rev. Alexander Kwaiku Yeboah the Air Cargo Safety Inspector for GCAA. Capt. Solomon Quainoo the Director of MCDAN Aviation and the Group CEO Kweku Ampofi received the team at the MCDAN Group FBO.

Also senior officers from both cargo and Business Development of FAAN with a representative from NAFDAC Mrs. Sanwoolu and another member of the Aviacargo committee Alex Nwuba were part of the team.

They were taken to the aviance cargo the oldest special purpose cargo terminal in Ghana for a tour of the first upscale cargo terminal in Ghana. They also visited the Swissport Terminal which is the most modern cargo terminal in West Africa where they engaged with government agencies and some stakeholders. They visited the Nigerian Embassy where the High Commissioner Ibok-Ete Ibas and the staff hosted them. The High Commissioner thanked the Team for making out time to visit the embassy. He wants the team to make sure the report and findings are implemented.

“Nigeria is now learning from people who had earlier learnt from us, we should show more patriotism to restore Nigeria to its rightful position in the world,” he admonished. The DCBD in his remarks told the High Commissioner that “the Potential in Nigeria to do air cargo is massive but mostly untapped. We have seen the high tech facilities at Addis Ababa, we have seen the output by Kenya and we have now seen the modest but functional adaptation by Ghana so we know exactly what to do sir. We have now woken up to the reality of the game.”

The group rounded off the tour with an engagement with the Ghana Export Promotion Agency GEPA. They were received by the Deputy CEO Albert Kassim Diwura. After the engagement, the Coordinator of the Nigerian Aviacargo Roadmap Committee while thanking the government of Ghana for the reception of the team, wondered why the 2 countries are not working closer together. “I observed that Ghana imports eggs from Belgium to hatch for day old chicks while eggs are rotting in North Central Nigeria. Why is Ghana importing mangos from Brazil to produce fruit juice for export. Why is Nigeria importing chocolate from Europe when Ghana can supply all we need. If Ghana is good at exporting yam can we supply more yams to Ghana for increased exports. These will grow the 2 economies. We need to start this export thing at the regional level then expand globally,” he observed.

The Deputy CEO of GEPA thanked the Nigerian visitors and said that he was happy that NAFDAC was part of the team as NAFDAC has been one of the obstacles faced by Ghanaian exporters to Nigeria. The NAFDAC representative was quick to assure him about the ease and transparency of the agency pointing out that importers come to the agency when their goods arrive instead of coming to get the approval before bringing in the goods. The visit to Ghana is the 3rd international airport visited by the Aviacargo Committee. They had earlier visited the airports at Nairobi Kenya and Addis Ababa Ethiopia. They have also visited 3 airports in North Central Nigeria in Jos, Lafia and Abuja.

“Nigeria Only Belongs To Hausa and Yoruba” – Fayose Declared; Netizens React

Published

on

BREAKING: Tinubu appoints 9 new INEC resident commissioners

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has sparked nationwide controversy after declaring that Nigeria belongs only to the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups.

In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Fayose dismissed the long-standing belief that Nigeria’s unity rests on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.

He claimed that the Igbos have been marginalized and not counted among the country’s dominant groups.

He stated: “They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, but that’s a lie… take out that Igbo, stop including them because it’s a lie.”

The remarks have triggered widespread backlash, with many Nigerians accusing him of promoting ethnic hatred and fueling disunity.

Others, however, agreed with his statement, describing it as “an honest truth” about Nigeria’s politics.

@olaoluwasunnyman reacted: “Honest truth.”

@chefnoka said: “History will never forget you, brother. I’m not Igbo, but I love the way you speak and stand for the truth. We need it to move this nation forward.”

@newbilliy commented: “I’m Yoruba but an Igbo President will make Nigeria great. I love Igbo people and their business mindset.”

@beautyjunctiongh wrote: “God bless you, my brother, for saying the truth.”

@benedictoguama asked: “Where is Jonathan from?”

@daveiyke_donnegro stated: “@isaacfayoseoriginal_ God bless you Sir for speaking the truth. I wish other Nigerians can shun tribalism and unite for the progress of Nigeria. Tribalism us a tool against Nigerians and the unity of Nigeria. Politicians have weaponized tribalism which enables them thrive in continued political and socioeconomic incompetence.”

@realtundr4 added: “I agree with what you said, sir, but look at it, does igbo really have d right candidate? Obi is just chameleon to me he’s not real, neither do they have the leadership experience as our current president @officialasiwajubat, the one and only politician that have ever created more millionaires and successful individual in the whole nation. Make we leave hatred, JAGABAN na baba.”

@richeart4u said: “Those that have been president, were they given free or charge? Was there a law that stopped Igbo man from being a president? How do people become a president? Or do you mean Igbo have never been allowed to contest for presidency? Same things goes to women too, why are women not hugely represented in all positions even presidency? No one is stopping anyone from becoming anything, you just have to change your strategy and alignment. You can’t be doing same thing over the years and not get the desired result and still want to stick to that failed pattern to achieve a new result. Igbo people and their candidate must be encompassing. Hausa has been aligning more to Igbo people to get whatever position they wanted and why are they not returning the favour hugely? Align to anyone that can boost your change of winning and be well accommodating and understanding the power of choices and politicking. I might be wrong 0000. Na ma small knowledge I take respond oooo.”
