Experts Support Emirates’ Dollar Pricing in Nigeria

Published

on


Aviation experts support Emirates Airlines’ decision to charge passengers in dollars, citing the airline’s dollar-based costs and financial challenges in Nigeria. Emirates pays for services like airport fees and fuel in dollars, making naira pricing difficult to maintain. Olumide Ohunayo of the Aviation Round Table explained that inconsistent aviation policies in Nigeria justify the move.

Experts also noted that currency fluctuations and trapped funds have added pressure on airlines. While some customers may prefer naira payments, dollar-priced tickets are often more affordable.

Kingsley Nwokoma emphasized payment should remain a choice, warning that mandating dollar payments could cause disruptions. Meanwhile, John Ojikutu highlighted the billions foreign airlines contribute to Nigeria, questioning how these funds are managed. NANTA has requested Emirates to continue offering naira payment options alongside dollars.

Olayemi Cardoso, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has made a passionate appeal to Nigerians, particularly the youth, urging them not to leave the country.

In a keynote address at the 59th annual Bankers Dinner hosted by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in Lagos, Cardoso highlighted the importance of staying and contributing to the growth of Nigeria’s economy.

Cardoso acknowledged the challenges facing the country but reassured citizens that the Central Bank was actively working to create an environment where both individuals and businesses could flourish.

He pointed out that leaving the country at this time could have detrimental effects, particularly for those who might choose to sell off their assets in the process.

“If you leave now, you’ll be selling your assets for a fraction of their value,” he explained.

“There are external forces looking for bargains who would take advantage of this situation, pocketing the profits and waiting for a time to sell it for a higher price.”

He further emphasized that now more than ever, Nigerians needed to stay and be part of the solution to the country’s problems.

“This is a critical time, and we need everyone’s efforts to help us turn things around,” he said.

“Leaving may seem like an easy solution, but it’s important to be part of the change and help shape the future of our nation.”

Despite the economic struggles Nigeria has faced, Cardoso remains optimistic about the country’s prospects.
