In a bid to enhance bilateral relations and strengthen air travel between Nigeria and Kuwait, both nations have signed a Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) at the ongoing International Civil Aviation Negotiation holding in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It is reported that the agreement will allow airlines from both countries to operate an agreed number of flights between Nigeria and Kuwait, covering both passenger and cargo flights, further promoting trade and tourism between the two nations.
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, who signed the agreement, noted that the agreement would enhance the desired economic ties and cooperation between the two countries.
Keyamo expressed optimism about the agreement’s potential to deepen trade relationships between Nigeria and Kuwait and said that the move was in tandem with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the current administration under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He further underscored the important role that the Aviation Sector is positioned to play towards the successful implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda which is aimed at bringing out over fifty million Nigerians out of poverty.
