@silent__cabal hope you love my edit 😂
UPDATE:
As directed by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, the operator, OVERLAND AIRWAYS has reverted with clarification from the Nigeria Revenue Service, NRS, as follows:
That tickets purchased before January 1, 2026 were not affected by the new tax laws. This means that passengers who were made to pay VAT before check in 2026 for tickets purchased since 2025, were not supposed to have been charged.
Overland Airways, a responsible,law-abiding entity, therefore, has committed to redress the situation by initiating a refund for affected passengers.
It is necessary to re-clarify that, even in my initial update about this case, I stated the reasons why the airline felt a need to charge VAT in the way that it did. The onus was on the NRS to clarify, which they have now done. I was also clear about the position of the NCAA.
This issue has now been brought to a satisfactory conclusion, and Overland Airways has shown transparency, cooperation, and responsibility.
My gratitude to the DGCA, Capt. Chris Najomo for leadership in this matter. I also must appreciate my colleague directors, Mrs. Olayinka Babaoye-Iriobe (Air Transport Regulations), and Mrs Mary Tufano-Eche (Legal) for collaborating with my directorate on this. Further appreciation to Mrs Ifueko Abdulmalik and her team at FO&A for their support and hard work.
The NCAA remains committed to protecting the rights of all stakeholders.
In Yaoundé today: The Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development @fkeyamo speech during the Nigeria-Cameroon Bilateral Agreement on Technical Aeronautical search and Rescue Ops
Strengthening Regional Skies: Nigeria and Cameroon Sign Historic Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement!
The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, @fkeyamo , SAN, CON, led a high-level Nigerian delegation to Yaoundé, Cameroon, on Friday, February 27th. There, he joined his Cameroonian counterpart, the Minister of Transport, Jean Ernest Ngallé Bibehe, to formally sign the Bilateral Agreement on Technical Aeronautical Search and Rescue Operations.
This pivotal pact between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of Cameroon enhances airspace safety by enabling faster, more coordinated responses to aviation emergencies across our shared borders.
The Minister was accompanied by the Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), and key directors from the Ministry, ensuring a unified approach to implementation.
The strategic partnership fully aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises:
• Institutional strengthening
• Regional cooperation
• Economic revitalisation
• Protection of lives and property in the aviation sector
By formalising these protocols, Nigeria reaffirms its leadership in fostering a safer, more integrated, and resilient aviation ecosystem throughout West and Central Africa.

Yesterday, I led a high-level Nigerian delegation to Yaoundé, Cameroon to meet my Cameroonian counterpart, the Minister of Transport, Jean Ernest NgalNgallé Bibehe, to formally sign the Bilateral Agreement on Technical Aeronautical Search and Rescue Operations.

The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, @fkeyamo , SAN, CON, FCIArb (UK), today, appeared before the Joint Committee on Aviation of the National Assembly for the 2026 budget defence session. @nassnigeria
The Minister was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, as well as Directors and Chief Executives of all agencies under the Ministry's supervision. @FAAN_Official@NigeriaCAA@nigeriaairspace@AfricanAA_Uni@nimetnigeria
The engagement took place at the Senate Wing of the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, where key discussions focused on the Ministry's priorities and proposed allocations for the fiscal year.
Aviation is capital intensive, but you don't need a billion naira to run a restaurant or boutique at the airport. In any case, if you need that much, then attend this summit powered by the Honourable Minister, @fkeyamo SAN, and your 'investor problem' may very well disappear.
On this Valentine’s Day, I recall my message to Nigerians during our 65th Independence Day anniversary. Some of us have NEVER, EVER spoken ill about another tribe or religion in Nigeria. I am a product of two distinct tribes in Nigeria. Let’s embrace one another in LOVE.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Senator @dattibabaahmed , expressed deep appreciation to the Federal Government, especially the Hon. Minister, @fkeyamo , SAN, for putting national interest above political considerations in approving his request for the proposed Baze University @bazeuni_abuja Aviation School
Earlier today, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed , the Chancellor of Baze University, Abuja, led a high-powered delegation from the University to my office on a working visit. They came in respect of the proposed Baze University Aviation School, which is to be sited in Bwari, with its own runway for training of pilots and aviation-related courses.
I assured them of the full cooperation and support of the Federal Government towards a realisation of the project and immediately directed my Permanent Secretary and all relevant aviation agencies to hasten all bureaucratic processes to ensure its take-off.
@woye1@EnuguAirlines@flyxejet Thanks for sharing bro. Moments like this also serves to remind flight crews that they are more than robotic statistics; they are also well appreciated.
Here is wishing a very fulfilling birthday to my Honourable Minister, @fkeyamo SAN. A man of his word and true patriot, the aviation minister is an example of what sheer grit, focus, and commitment can achieve, not just for an individual, but to the nation. A master of many crafts, Chief Keyamo is a man I am proud to work with because he has shown that one can be successful through diligence. To him, everything else is simply an addition; genuine work supercedes all. I celebrate a leader and a believer in the Nigeria project. I admire his support for Mr. President, and how he has motivated those of us in the aviation sector to aim for excellence. Congratulations, boss. God bless you always.
