yeye4live: dey re nigerian, dis dana na indian , dats politic n bad rules n legilation ova our own self

The Federal Government on Wednesday lifted the suspension of the Operating Licence of Dana Airlines.

This follows government’s satisfaction with the air-worthiness of the airline after a rigorous technical, operational and financial audit of the airline, according to a statement by Joe Obi, Special Assistant (Media) to Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.

“By this development, Dana Airline is free to resume its normal commercial flight operations. Government will, however, continue to strengthen its oversight and regulatory functions to ensure that all airlines operating in the country, including Dana, adhere strictly to safety procedures as required by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Act and all other relevant local and international regulations that ensure and promote sustainable air safety.

”The operating licence of Dana Airlines was temporarily suspended following the crash of one of its aircraft on June 3, in Lagos as a safety precaution,” the statement said.

Government had suspended Dana’s licence on June 5, 2012, two days after its Abuja-Lagos scheduled flight 0992 crashed into some residential and commercial buildings in Iju-Ishaga, on the outskirts of Lagos.

The entire 153 passengers and crew as well as four persons on the ground perished in the crash.

The crash claimed the lives of some prominent Nigerians as well as some foreigners.

Among the victims were a former Vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Prof. Celestine Onwuliri; and the spokesman for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Livi Ajuonuma.

Whole families were also lost in the crash.

Billyonaire: Jobs are everywhere but the skills are lacking. ATM engineers and technicians are needed by banks. Telecoms Exchange technicians. Nuclear energy scientists are needed now at our atomic energy laboratories. There are so many jobs but the skills are lacking... you see grauduates with pure sciences and social sciences and education degrees all over the place. These are not applied knowledge. We need to go back to skilled sector. That's where the money is.

leyom234: Majority of Nigerians know virtually nothing about PHCN. You just want light abi? Just yesterday, MR Vice President blasted the man because it was discovered that he actually had personal interest in PHCN companies. Barth is into business of power generation. He expressed personal interest and the vice president was furious at him. He resigned out of shame. He owns a company called Geometricpower which claimed to be generating power to the national grid but in actual sense, it generates nothing. His plan to own parts of PHCN was exposed and he resigned in shame. I know Nigerians will not want to believe this because they feel its PHCN staff that cause power outage and interruption.

Kobojunkie: Is this for real

werepeLeri: Suddenly Barth Nnaji is a good man in the eyes of NairaLand folks. Only few days ago they were shouting him down and calling him a lier for saying power has improved.

asha 80: hmm do you think that might be the reason?i ask this because i do not think i have ever hear of a minister resigning because he has been fingered in corruption.if that is the case did gej force him to resign?if gej forced him to resign what does that say about the clamour that gej is not fighting corruption?

Series22: B4 they were arrested, they had a shoot out wit d police, sum of dem sustained injuries and were stil kept in d police Cell without been treated. They must hv died as a result of Tatanus or overbleeding.. Abi u want police 2 treat them? This is not NYPD or LAPD.. This is d Almighty NPF.. 2 serve & protect wt intergrity

Am sure u turned ur Cochlea off and failed to hear the area where he mentioned that 'THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE WILL BE HIGH'.

Keep deciving yourself.
