FG approves Abuja-London route for Air Peace

 

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has announced his approval for Air Peace to operate the Abuja-London route, expanding the airline's existing service beyond the Lagos-London route.

Keyamo made this announcement during an interview session on the 'Politics Today' programme on Channels Television on Thursday, when asked what the plans of the government were to support Air Peace in the light of an ongoing price war in the industry since the airline's entry into the Lagos-London route.

"We have a duty to support our local airlines, not only Air Peace, but all other airlines that are healthy, and for those that are unhealthy, bring them back to life too."

"Also, let me tell you exclusively that yesterday I approved Air Peace for the Abuja-London route, not only the Lagos-London route.

"I got the file yesterday and approved that they (Air Peace) should start the Abuja-London route," Keyamo stated.

The aviation minister further noted that the decision to approve the Abuja-London route for Air Peace was based on reciprocity, since British Airways also flies the Abuja-London route, in addition to the Lagos-London route.

Keyamo added that this approval would likely start a price war on that route, ultimately lowering fares for the benefit of Nigerians.

Keyamo elaborated on the ongoing fare competition between Air Peace and international carriers on the Lagos-London route, noting that aviation authorities will diligently monitor the situation.

He indicated that the government might consider issuing waivers to support local airlines, if necessary, a move aimed at reducing the airfares for Nigerians on international routes.

"On this price war, we will continue to monitor the situation and I can assure you that if there is anything the government can do in terms of waivers, we would talk to Mr. President and go to the National Assembly.

"We have a duty to support our own. We are not supporting private businesses; we are supporting Nigerians who are paying from their pockets and who should continue to pay lower fares," Keyamo stated.

5 cool things invented by kids

 

Have you ever eaten a popsicle? Did you know a child invented that?

Over the years, many kids have shown real creativity and transformed their passion into cool innovations.

You'll be surprised that some of the things you know were invented by kids.

5 cool things invented by kids

Here are five cool things that kids invented:

1. The spill-proof bowl

8 years old Lily Born is credited to be the inventor of the "No-Spill Bowl." It is said that she came up with the idea after getting tired of spills during meals, especially for her grandfather who had Parkinson's disease. Lily, in response, designed a bowl with an inner lining that keeps food from spilling out, even when the bowl is turned upside down or tilted.

2. The popsicle

As mentioned earlier, the iconic popsicle was invented by a kid - an 11-year-old named Frank Epperson in 1905. He accidentally left a mixture of powdered soda and water with a stirring stick on his porch overnight during a cold night, creating the first frozen treat on a stick.

3. The Braille system

Louis Braille, was only 15 years old when he created the Braille system. This was after he lost his sight as a result of a childhood accident. Today, Braille's invention has revolutionised communication and accessibility for people who are visually impaired worldwide.

Shubham Banerjee, at the age of 12, also took this a notch higher by inventing a low-cost Braille printer using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit. His innovation, called the "Braigo," significantly reduced the cost of Braille printers, making them more accessible to visually impaired individuals worldwide.

4. The trampoline

The trampoline was also invented by a kid. George Nissen, who was a 16-year-old gymnast in 1930, was inspired by circus safety nets. Nissen created a bouncing device that has since become widely used in gymnastics training, recreational activities, and even space training programs.

5. The water talkie

Inspired during a family snorkelling trip, 9-year-old Richie Stachowski invented the "Water Talkie." This device allows swimmers to communicate underwater using a radio frequency, bringing a taste of safety and fun during aquatic activities.

The above inventions prove that kids can be innovative if they let their creative minds run. Do you agree with this?
