In a landmark achievement for the Nigerian military and the academic community, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Osichinaka Chiedu Ubadike has made history as the first serving officer of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to be appointed to the rank of Professor, reports ITREALMS.
The historic appointment in Aerospace Engineering was recently confirmed by the Governing Council of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna.
Battle for the skies Congratulations to Air Peace on its inaugural flight to London and for achieving full bookings for the upcoming months, thanks to attractive ticket prices. Over the past fortnight, Air Peace has been making waves on social media for various reasons. On a positive note, the airline shared a LinkedIn post featuring a picture of former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, aboard a return flight to London. The caption highlighted his positive experience, stating, "I went, it was pleasant. I came back, it was even more pleasant." However, on a different note, Nigeria Stories recently reported that the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority has contacted Nigeria's Civil Aviation Authority regarding alleged violations of aviation safety regulations by Air Peace.
The significance of Air Peace's impact on airfares along the Lagos-London route cannot be overstated. Since commencing operations on March 30, Air Peace has maintained its round-trip economy ticket price at $1,000 (₦1.2 million), a substantial reduction compared to the previous rates charged by international airlines, which could soar up to $2,500 (₦3 million). This bold pricing approach has disrupted the established norms, prompting foreign carriers to reassess their pricing frameworks.
