The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria (NCSCN) has applauded President Bola Tinubu for the support given to Air Peace and other local airline operators.

This is as it stressed that Nigerians should patronize indigenous Airline operators, noting that the Naira would be strengthened by doing so.

At a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the Executive Director of NCSCN, Comr. Blessing A. Akinlosotu also pointed out that Air Peace and other local airline operators should be granted at least a year tax waiver going by their patriotism.

Akinlosotu said: “The Federal Government and all well-meaning Nigerians must rise up to save our most patriotic and progressive indigenous operator, Air Peace, and other well-meaning Indigenous airlines, from this international Aero-politics and pricing warfare by foreign airlines who are seriously threatened by the rising profile and business strategies of a Nigerian Operator with impressive global records of flight operations between Nigeria and other countries like China, UAE, Israel, Brazil and South Africa and India.

“Air Peace has really exposed the foreign operators, just like GLO Nigeria did to the foreign Telecom Providers that almost milked and bled Nigerians to death in the name of telecommunication. Who would have imagine the possibility of all foreign operators coming down so low in pricing if not for the entrance and intervention of our patriotic and nationalistic.

“Air Peace must be protected, rewarded and honoured for this patriotic gesture. The Civil Society Council hereby calls on all Nigerians to patronise Air Peace in the Lagos- London route, irrespective of the deceptive lower pricing of the foreign conspirators, as this will save our Naira and further grow our National Economy.

“All the foreign operators repatriate their profits and funds back to their home countries, but Air Peace is indigenous and reinvests profits here in Nigeria to the advantage of the Naira.”
