Dr. Gabriel Olowo, ex-President of Aviation Round Table, suggests redirecting pilgrimage expenses to settle trapped funds, addressing airport conditions.
He made this known at NATCA’s 52 AGM/Conference in Port Harcourt.
He emphasises the impact on airlines and the public, stating, “Prioritising aviation over Religious Tourism can wipe out remittance backlogs.”
Commending Minister Festus Keyamo for closing MMIA1, Olowo highlights the neglected state of Nigeria’s costliest airport.
While acknowledging Keyamo’s actions, he urges a focus on aviation for safety improvements and questions remaining blind spots despite significant radar investments
