NIGERIAN AVIATION SECTOR FACES GRIM FUTURE
The issue of corruption in the Nigerian Aviation sector is
said to be the reason why the nation
cannot assemble its own air crafts.
In an exclusive investigation on the matter by Paedia Express
Multimedia in Lagos,Nigeria while speaking to two aviation experts among whom
were a pilot and an aeronautic engineer,it was discovered that that there were
several institutional bottlenecks which was standing against the manufacture or
assemblage of a Nigerian aeroplane.
The sources claimed that there was a colleagues of theirs
who produced an aircraft through a self
effort three years ago but was refused support by the government because they
said that he did not have the right certification.
They explained that when some aviation experts abroad discovered
that he was available they swooped on him and today he was abroad doing what he
knows best to do.
The duo who worked for a Nigerian airline told this reporter
as at September,2014 that Chanchangi Airlines had been out of operations due to
bad management added that more airlines
may still follow.
They revealed that Medview Airlines have an excellent welfare package which was second to
none in the sector as they fly fewer
routes.
The Sources speaks:”They have a serious debt problem hanging
over them at the moment,they keep there pilots and other workers in hotels and
they have to pay them in accordance to global aviation practice”
“normally when you write there aptitude test it takes a year
before you start to work but now I have
friends that have been waiting for them for over nine months to call them to
resume work but this has not happened at all due to the huge debt of the
company”
“In the Nigerian Air Force they are building a helicopter at
the moment after the success of a drone it recently built called Guluma or
Amebo in military circles”
“we have been hearing of a guy that has been parading
himself as the youngest pilot in the land from a south African school but this
is all a hoax,they are only playing politics with it because they wanted to
promote the Niger Delta region”
“I have a friend at Aero Contractors now who was much
younger when he left aviation school , I also know a lady from Kano State who
is younger so it is all politics”
“Overland Airways run at least eight flights and barring no
delays ,we will soon be adding that of the Markurdi route”
The aviation expert disagreed in very strong terms the
recent notions that planes can go missing, saying the recent one attributed to Boko
Haram in Nigeria crashed and did not go missing as alleged.
In an exclusive interview with Mr Wale Shadare,Aviation Editor
of New Telegraph Newspapers in Lagos,Nigeria said that if he was given a gift
of $5million he will not dabble into investing in aviation trade as most investors
in it were only involved in it more for the ego trip rather than its commercial
viability.
