Domestic carrier, Air Peace, says it is willing to evacuate Nigerians to complement efforts of the Federal Government to check the death of Nigerians residing in South Africa.
The Airline’s Chief Operating Officer, Mrs Oluwatoyin Olajide, in a letter addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, on Wednesday, urged the Federal Government to facilitate the rescue of stranded Nigerians in South Africa.She said, “We cannot fold our hands and watch our fellow Nigerians being killed by South Africans.
The Chairman of the airline, Mr Allen Onyema, while sympathising with the Nigerian victims’ families who lost their lives and properties in the attacks, said Air Peace decided to bring back Nigerians in support of the action already taken by the Federal Government. The Executive Secretary, Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, Mr Clement Isong, told our correspondent that there had been no problem with the supply of the product.
Domestic airlines operators, however, said they had been having issues buying the product, otherwise known as Jet A1.
