The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced that, direct aircraft operations to the Republic of Seychelles will start soon.
This was said in a statement provided to journalists on Thursday by James Odaudu, the minister’s special assistant for public affairs.
The declaration was made following the Federal Executive Council’s approval of the two countries’ initial air services agreement and memorandum of understanding, which were previously ratified by both nations.
Hadi Sirika, the minister of aviation, led representatives from his ministry in signing the bilateral air services agreement, while Anthony Derjacques, the minister of transport for the Republic of Seychelles, signed on behalf of his nation on the occasion of the ongoing International Civil Aviation Negotiations (ICAN) 2022 conference taking place in Abuja.
The statement reads partly,”During the ceremony, the two ministers underscored the importance of the BASA as it will promote air services and connectivity between both countries, enhance business, and promote tourism.
“They both agreed that the signing would further promote the African Union Agenda 2063 and called on citizens of both countries to latch on the opportunities of the BASA for their mutual benefits.
“Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Aviation has either signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Initial Air Services Agreement with Senegal, Benin Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Finland, Cameroon, Morocco, Suriname, India, Sudan and Uganda.”
The Open Skies Agreement, which was signed 30 years ago with the United States of America, has also been discussed by the Ministry as a way to continue its implementation.
