Nigeria: Report on aviation fuel scarcity ready soon

The report of the six-man committee set up by Stella Adaeze Oduah, aviation minister, to look into the scarcity and high cost of aviation fuel in the country will soon be submitted for consideration and onward implementation by the government. 

Victor Oche, technical adviser to the minister of aviation, who disclosed this at the Annual General Meeting and 40th anniversary of the Nigerian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) in Owerri, Imo State, said the minister would look at the report critically to know the core indices. 

Oche explained that the essence of the committee was to ensure that aviation fuel was available, affordable and sustainable for the comfort of every Nigerian, adding that the more the air fare was hiked the fewer the travellers while the airlines would continue to lose revenue.

“I am very sure that any moment from now, it will be Eldorado. I assure you with the zeal and the drive of the minister, that it will soon be over for the two parties. The marketers and the airline operators and Nigerians will smile,” assured Oche.
