NIGERIA WOULD HAVE DISINTEGRATED IF ............. SAGAY

Nigeria would have either disintegrated or be confronted with harsh economic crisis similar to that of Zimbabwe had Dr. Goodluck Jonathan been re-elected as president in 2015, eminent lawyer, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), declared on Thursday.

Sagay, who is Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), faulted those comparing the current administration with the immediate past regime and seeking a return to the lawless past because of the prevailing economic challenges.

The lawyer, who said the government was laying a solid foundation and building solid structures to combat corruption, hinted of plans to establish a special court to try corruption and kidnapping, among others.

Nigeria, others eye 2017 single African air transport

Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Rwanda and Zimbabwe are at the verge of meeting the target of having a single air transport market by the end of January 2017, Elijah Chingosho, secretary general, African Airlines Association (AFRAA), has said.

Chingosho says the possibility is very high considering the fact that these nations are ready to implement the Yamoussoukro Declaration that calls for African countries to open their skies to more flights from African airlines.

In his statement yesterday, Chingosho said Africa was set to liberalise its aviation zone by the end of January 2017, as it had the potential to double the sector’s size in five years.

He said eight countries, which collectively control 85 percent of Africa’s air traffic, planned to open their skies to other African airlines.
