- UAE has written to state that they agree to issue visas to Nigerians, consequently decision has been reached to allow Emirates to fly into Nigeria. Commencement of the Visa issuance is condition precedent. Please bear with this unusual situation. Many thanks 🙏🏽🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🙏🏽

00:00 - A military aircraft King Air 350 has just crashed short of our Abuja runway after reporting engine failure enroute Minna. It appears to be fatal. We should remain calm & wait for the outcome of investigation by the military, while we pray for the departed soul/souls if any.🇳🇬🤲🏽😩

- COVID-19. Flair Aviation, a UK company, was given approval for humanitarian operations but regrettably we caught them conducting commercial flights. This is callous! The craft is impounded, crew being interrogated. There shall be maximum penalty. Wrong time to try our resolve!🇳🇬
- Done with Umrah, Alhamdulillah. May Allah accept our worship, those who made it, those who couldn't, those who made it before, those who will make it later & those who may never make it. May Allah make our lives easy always and grant us Firdaus, through His mercy & compassion 🤲🏽

- Turkish Air operated A330 to Abuja today as against the small B737 in apparent response to our suspension order, we needed not to get to this. Anyways......🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
