President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the taking over of the security of the nation’s airspace over the Gulf of Guinea from Ghana .
The president also called for expedited action on the setting up of a new national carrier.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Aviattion, Mrs Binta Bello, told
journalists at the Presidential Villa in Abuja that the president had
given instruction to commence the process of taking over the airspace
immediately as the neighbouring countries now have the capacity to cover
their own airspace.
“We have a directive by the President to start the process of securing
the management of Nigerian airspace over the Gulf of Guinea which Ghana
has been maintaining since 1945 and there is a move on the ground by
Togo and Republic of Benin to take over the management of their own
airspace from Ghana,” she said.
