Direct flight between Nigeria and Canada

The Issue

The Nigerian diaspora in Canada is seeking the assistance of the Honorable Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, and the DG. Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), to help facilitate the commencement of direct flights between Nigeria and Canada. 

At the moment,  the flight between the two countries takes about 3days and involves 2 or 3 stop-over countries. This situation makes travelling to Nigeria a very herculean task. This scenario has led to a reduction of travel to Nigeria by the Nigerians in Canada. 

Direct flights between Nigeria and Canada will boost tourism and diaspora remittances. Canada is now the main emigration destination of Nigerians .
