Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace
development, says Nigeria and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have agreed to resume
cargo flight operations.
Keyamo spoke on Monday at the ministerial press briefing in
Abuja to mark President Bola Tinubu’s one year in office.
The minister said he just returned from Saudi Arabia where
he met his counterpart.
He said cargo flights between the two countries, which have
been suspended, would resume soon.
” I have good news for you from Saudi Arabia. I met my
counterpart in Saudi Arabia and we have agreed to resume cargo flights,” Keyamo
said.
“We have agreed that we are going to resume cargo flights
between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. This has been suspended for long, but now
cargo flights are back.”
Although Keyamo did not mention the specific date for the
resumption of cargo flight services between the two nations, the development
marks another positive move in the country’s relations with Middle East
countries.
On May 23, Keyamo had said the diplomatic tussle between
Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which led to a visa ban on Nigerians
has been resolved.
