Speaking to Nigerian Tribune, a renowned labour leader in the sector, Comrade Olayinka Abioye, lamented how the disused aircraft now litter the airports. “There is no gainsaying the fact that there is usually a place called the graveyard or bone yard where disused aircraft are kept. Whatever may be the situation, we are now faced with an ugly development on our hands where disused aircraft litter the field in such a disgraceful manner.

Before domestic airline business becomes history in Nigeria
Obviously, the entire hardship which is speedily dwindling the fortunes of the entire country including private investments is equally telling on the domestic airline business and other activities within the sector. Though there are many other issues hindering the profitability of the domestic carriers, the most challenging of them is the high price of aviation fuel and the unstable foreign exchange. Presently, among the functional airlines in Nigeria namely; Ibom Air, Dana Air, Air Peace, Arik, Aero Contractors, Azman, Max, Green Africa, United airlines and Overland Airways, only five or six fall into the category of functional airlines while others are operating on one leg in the face of the overwhelming challenges. ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNEFrom all indications, two or three of the functional airlines are moving very close to shutting down operations in view of the challenges. At the rate things are going, if government fails to intervene, there may be no domestic airline business sooner than later.

Fuel scarcity: Marketers rally against NNPC’s monopoly
Oil marketers have urged the Federal Government to put an end to the monopolistic privilege enjoyed by the Nigerian National Petroluem Corporation, NNPC. NNPC currently enjoys monopoly on importation and supply of petroleum products into the country. But oil marketers said the market situation was creating more problems for the country. Marketers under the auspices of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, during a briefing with newsmen on Thursday, said as part of permanent measures to curb fuel scarcity, other marketers should also be given a free and fair play in the importation of products. Oil marketers have consistently complained about their inability to import products due to forex scarcity, rising inflation, including excess and multiple import charges and taxes by the Customs and relevant government agencies.

The temptation of Bola Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), came into the limelight 30 years ago. Tinubu was elected Senator on the platform of Abiola’s Social Democratic Party (SDP), to represent Lagos-West in Abuja. Tinubu is facing the same dilemma that Abiola faced whether to pick a Muslim or a Christian candidate. Three men had contested for the SDP presidential ticket: Abiola, Atiku and Babagana Kingibe, a smooth-talking former diplomat, who was the founding chairman of the SDP. Now Tinubu is facing the same temptation 30 years after Abiola fell into it.
