Is this safety first or scare first grin
I think it's a reaction to the concerns of Nigerians. The NCAA had previously stated that no Boeing 737 Max 8 was registered to fly in Nigeria, but that didn't seem to satisfy Nigerians. In fact, on the thread that I created yesterday, someone claimed that Italian Airways was flying a 737 Max 8 into Nigeria last night.

It's necessary for the government to assuage the fears of Nigerians.
