What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, on Tuesday, urged airline operators to treat Nigerian passengers well and serve them local dishes on board their flights.

According to a statement issued Tuesday by Odutayo Oluseyi, the aviation ministry’s Head of Press and Public Affairs, Mr Keyamo made this known while receiving the delegation of Lufthansa Group at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.

“Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, CON, FCIArb (UK) has requested Airline Operators to serve passengers with Nigerian dishes,” the statement noted.

The statement said while the minister commended the Lufthansa Group for their services in the aviation industry over the years, he equally mandated all aircraft leaving or coming to Nigeria to ensure they “treat Nigerians well” on board their flights.

The development comes against the background of complaints by the Special Assistant to President Tinubu in the office of the Vice President, Gimba Kakanda, who narrated a harrowing experience he had flying Lufthansa airline recently.
