Festus Keyamo, Nigeria’s minister of aviation and aerospace development, met with Judica Nagunwa, head of chancery of the Tanzania high commission, to strengthen both countries’ bilateral relations.
In a statement on Sunday, Tunde Moshood, special adviser on
media and communications to Keyamo, said that Nagunwa led a delegation to Keyamo’s
office in Abuja on April 9.
Moshood said the delegation discussed Air Tanzania’s request
to commence direct flights between the East-African country and Nigeria.
“During the meeting, the Tanzanian envoy conveyed the High
Commission’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations between Nigeria
and Tanzania, particularly in the area of air connectivity,” Moshood said.
“A key point of discussion was the request by Air Tanzania
to commence direct flights between Tanzania and Nigeria.
“Mrs. Nagunwa emphasized that the launch of direct flights
would not only enhance trade and tourism between both countries but would also
deepen cultural and people-to-people ties.
“She expressed the readiness of the Tanzanian authorities to
collaborate closely with Nigeria to actualize this goal.”
According to Moshood, Keyamo welcomed the proposal for
direct flights, assuring the delegation that the ministry would support the
necessary processes in line with Nigeria’s bilateral and regulatory frameworks.
“He reiterated the Federal Government’s resolve under the
Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to expand Nigeria’s aviation
frontiers and promote stronger air transport linkages across Africa,” the
special adviser said.
Moshood added that both parties ended the meeting with a
mutual agreement to maintain continuous engagement to help fast-track approvals
and finalise operational arrangements.
