Great
Then everything was scenery- Nigerian skies was bluish and the environment greenish. People at the lagos airport were so few too.

for the records,
At April 1960, the fleet comprised one Dove, eight Herons and eight DC-3s.[15] In early 1961, Nigeria became the only owner of the company;[19] the airline became the flag carrier of the country.[17] A BOAC Comet 4 inaugurated the jet services between Nigeria and London on 1 April 1962; the flight was operated in conjunction with Nigeria Airways.[17] Aimed at replacing the DC-3 aircraft park, five Fokker Friendship 200s were ordered late that year;[20][21] these Fokker F-27s joined the fleet between January and May 1963, and were deployed on regional routes, including those that served Abidjan, Accra, Bathurst, Dakar, Freetown and Robertsfield.[17] That year, the contract with BOAC was revised and a new agreement was signed in April.[22] BOAC subsequently operated Vickers VC-10 services on behalf of Nigeria Airways from April 1964 until an aircraft of the type was acquired from the British state airline in October 1969;[23]:292 the airplane was destroyed in an accident in November that year.[24][25] - wikipedia

the plane in the picture is the BOAC Comet 4. see Nigeria Airways Below.

That was during the Civil War. The Nigerian Airways is now moribund. What a country!
Modified:
That picture looks too recent to have been taken in 1969. Does the NA have blue colour on their planes?
May not be a Nigeria airways plane, but 1969, I have little doubt. Check out the long socks worn by all the aviation workers, like footballers.
