The National Security Adviser, Babagana Munguno, has banned the planned helicopter shuttle service from Kaduna to Abuja by some helicopter companies.

In a memo banning the move, Munguno said, “In view of the closure of the airport, air travelers will be required to travel by road/train to Abuja from Kaduna International Airport. This will undoubtedly cause constraints on the movement of some passengers who will aim to travel using other means, notably the use of commercial ferry helicopters.

“Please be reminded that the airspace over the Federal Capital Territory Abuja is controlled and only security flights or those with the requisite security clearance from the Presidency are granted overhead clearance for obvious security reasons. Consequently, you are to note and ensure that no charter or commercial helicopter ferry flights are allowed to fly within Abuja airspace.”

Which kind government be this.

But shuttle from Abuja to Daura remains.

The ban does not affect President Mamman Daura certainly.

hmmm i see, well no average nigerian can use any form of helicopter shuttle apart from security agencies, so this will only affect the wealthy nigerians

In a country with limited aerial defence capacity, it is a wise move.

Nice development, let the wealthy feel the pain a little

for security purposes I think

good let everybody suffer it. imagine some people have registered with Bristow, if the fly from Lagos to Minna they will use there chopper to Abuja.

kpakam

k

Was here

ok

We are neither here or there.

Thats good, let them join us on the road

Nice move but the sad thing is that our youths won't take their time to analyse the move before calling PMB and his administration names.

The truth is, for security reasons things can't just fly over Abuja airspace as it is the seat of power and it houses the president and the country's representatives.

Nice move once again

Daddy is back... Senseless policies and orders returns.

A very wise move....

Empty brains everywhere... U think Abuja is your village everything can fly over and drop whatever??

what kind nonsense is this na. No wonder foreign airlines pulled out..

asif you can afford anything about helicopter transport

They want all the politicians to experience what commuters go through, perhaps when road contracts are awarded it will be given priority by these politicians and contractors

Good move from the NSA. They wouldn't die if they ply the road/train.

Sorry, it is after Buhari took helicopter from Kaduna to Abuja or Before? He for don take train na

With these useless policies, you should have know that someone has entered the country

Them sign Agreement with kidnappers

And some helicopter operators are attempting

To deny the kidnappers their 'legitimate' victims.
