Published

on

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has emphasized that no airline has yet initiated a nationwide awareness campaign to educate travelers and airlines about their rights and responsibilities....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

 

The initiative is designed to close the gap between passengers and airlines while ensuring compliance with aviation regulations.

Chris Najomo, NCAA’s Director General, made the statement during a press briefing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, stressing the importance of educating passengers about their rights and obligations.

“This campaign aims to inform passengers of their rights and obligations while ensuring airlines fulfill their duties. It’s about fair treatment for both parties, not always favoring one over the other,” Najomo said.

Addressing common issues such as flight delays, Najomo pointed out that after a 2-hour delay, airlines are required to provide refreshments, and passengers are entitled to refunds, either in cash or online, within two weeks. He also noted that after a 4-hour delay, airlines must offer hotel accommodation for overnight delays, urging airlines to communicate delays promptly to passengers through SMS or other channels to help them adjust their plans.

“No airline wants to delay a flight intentionally. While external factors can contribute to delays, effective communication can alleviate frustration,” Najomo added.

The NCAA’s campaign, which has already begun at major airports such as Port Harcourt, will expand nationwide to raise public awareness and ensure a better travel experience, especially during the festive season, with the addition of several new aircraft to airlines’ fleets.

The OK Movement That We Know, Did Not Authorize This Statement – NDC Rejects Oghulu

Published

on

A major political feud has erupted within the opposition coalition as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) officially distanced itself from a faction of the OK Movement led by John Oghulu. The friction follows Oghulu’s public refusal to surrender the movement’s national, state, local government, and ward structures to the NDC, insisting that the group is an independent political organization rather than a conventional support group.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy gained momentum after NDC National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson—speaking while welcoming former SGF Babachir Lawal into the party—criticized support groups that operate as rival structures instead of focusing on grassroots mobilization for candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Reacting sharply to Oghulu’s dismissal of these concerns, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada, issued a blistering clarification on social media:

  • Disowned Leadership: Agada declared that John Oghulu’s faction does not speak for the party, stating explicitly, “The OK movement that we know, did not authorize this statement.”

  • Working Against the Party: The NDC spokesperson accused Oghulu of actively undermining both the NDC and the broader Obidient movement.

  • True Grassroots Alignment: Agada affirmed that the legitimate wing of the OK Movement remains in close collaboration with the party to drive mobilization for the upcoming 2027 elections.
