Nigerian govt bans Boeing 737 Max planes from country’s airspace – The Nigerian federal government has banned Boeing 737 Max airplanes from flying into Nigeria’s airspace following a fatal crash in Ethiopia over the weekend.

FINANCIAL WATCH gathered Hadi Sirika, minister of state, aviation, disclosed this to state house correspondents at the end of the federal executive council (FEC) meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Regarding Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9, that has been in the news recently, there is no cause for alarm as there is no operator in Nigeria that is using that type of airplane,” he said.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, whose mandate it is to issue advisory, has already issued advisory that nobody should fly into Nigeria or out of Nigeria using Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9, pending the determination of the actual cause of the crash in Ethiopia and also pending the outcome of the response of the manufacturer, which is Messers Boeing.

“Regardless of the enormous safety records of this plane 737, it has caused concern in the world of aviation and you know aviation is universal, whatever affects one affects the other because aircraft will be flying in and out. So, we have issued directive that no operator with Boeing 737 Max 8 or Max 9 should operate into and outside our airports and this is being carried out.”

The 157 persons on board the ill-fated aircraft were killed. Two Nigerians: Pius Adesanmi, a professor, and Abiodun Bashua, an ex-diplomat, lost their lives in the incident.

See Nigeria forming with ban... Abeg make we hear word.. NIGERIA as a country deserve a ban sef.

BTW What will be will be...

Those who get Airline are taking decisions and this ones are rushing to ban, as if they add any value to the aviation industry.

Nigeria Govt self dey ban

The FG is over dramatising this issue

Its more of lack of opportunity to move at the pace of advanced countries

for their mind they are banning

So we can make a decision like this?

Stupid set of people,I don’t even know how they reason,is the Boeing max not better than all the 1892 model aircraft we use here in Nigeria that sounds like thunder,foolish set of hypocrites!

Them no wan hear story... the rich self.

I just tire for we Nigerians. We complained when they didn't respond, now that they have dignified us by responding we say it is because of the rich....

Only God knows best... Stopping a particular brand doesn't mean another brand can't crash. What matters is that we should all prepare for the second coming of Christ. Live our lives like we would die that day

Copy cat decisions. If western countries hadn't done the same would Sai baba and his goons have thought of this?

This panic isn't necessary.

Unto say it affects the rich, na why them quickly ban am...

Good one.... lemme see how AirPeace will fly

ZOO is only good at newspaper.

I know it takes big brown envelope for this ban to be flauted.

See Nigeria too wey no get any recognisable national carrier or basic standards dey follow better countries to ban boeing plane
...what a joke for a country

Nigeria Government indeed, make the rest of the world hear say we still talk something about Boeing 737 Max 8.
