Kalakiri partnership celebrates unity and democracy
Speaking on the partnership, United Nigeria Airlines Chief Commercial Officer, Dayo Olawuyi, said the airline views the initiative as a meaningful way to honour the significance of June 12.
“June 12 is a reminder of the sacrifices made for the freedom and unity we enjoy today. Supporting Kalakiri is our way of honouring that legacy,” Olawuyi said.
He added: “As an airline that connects every corner of this nation and unites people of all tribes, we believe strongly in the power of storytelling to reinforce what holds us together as a people. This film does exactly that, and we are proud to stand behind it.”
Meanwhile, the airline’s Marketing Manager, Ebele Nebolisa-Mokaogwu, said the movie’s message strongly reflects the company’s core values. According to her, both the airline and Kalakiri share a common goal of fostering unity among Nigerians.
“We also fly to unite cultures and unite people, and we see that this aligns with us, where the film is trying to unite Nigerians through democracy,” she said.
The partnership highlights the growing collaboration between aviation and entertainment stakeholders to promote national values. Therefore, United Nigeria Airlines believes supporting the movie offers another avenue to celebrate democracy while rewarding loyal and prospective travellers.
Kalakiri is currently showing in cinemas across Nigeria.
