The immediate past President of Aviation Round Table Safety Initiative, ASRTI, Dr. Gbenga Olowo has advised Nigerian airlines to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Speaking in an interview on the sidelines of the 27th annual League of Airports and Aviation Correspondents, LAAC, conference at Providence Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, with the theme: Aviation Industry, changing times changing strategies, Dr Olowo urged the airlines to go and take a case study of Bellview, ADC, Okada and many others and look at how and why they failed.
He noted that If the government was responsible for the problem, stakeholders must think of how to handle the government.
Olowo said: “The government has always been the problem. They tell you, you can’t fly the flag. Air Peace has been flying the flag to Ghana, Liberia, and China now. And I am sure if you look at those routes, for them not to be in red is questionable.
Allen Onyema kept saying it and nobody is attending to him, until he rides into crisis, then Asset Management Corporation of Migeria, AMCON will come, like they did to Arik and to Aero. That is not the way forward. You see in Nigeria, Nigeria does not love Nigeria except when we are playing soccer.
The soccer that we don’t prepare for. Now the girls won and we are shouting. Thank God that the girls displayed their individual effort to give us result”.
He said the industry must be result-oriented.
Olowo added that : “When you are in political office, make sure the value you are adding is not to line your pocket. Make sure the value you are adding is for posterity.”
On the theme of this year’s conference, Olowo observed that, “time will continue to change, but what strategy are you changing? What knowledge are we lacking in any industry in this country? None! For those of us who are privileged to take medicals outside Nigeria, when we get in there, we meet Nigerian doctors; we meet Indian doctors all over the world. In the United States, Nigerian doctors are more than any other. Are you now saying that those Nigerian doctors can’t practice in Nigeria? It is that we are not part of solution makers, we are always identifying problems. When you meet the minister now, he will be telling you about the problems. And he is the solution. The MD of FAAN is talking to you about the problems, but he is the solution. His airports, water does not run. He knows that when a domestic passenger comes down, he cannot connect internationally.
Doesn’t he know? He is supposed to be the solution. So what strategy are you changing? There is cobweb in your room, you can see it, and you left it there”.
On whether there is no hope for the industry in Nigeria, Olowo explained further that “there is plenty of hope; resources are plenty here in Nigeria. You always see that players in the industry are saying something differently from politicians or political appointees. Check the CV of all the past aviation Ministers, who is a thorough industry person”.

really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would
enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free

Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was
wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code
with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless think about if you
added some great pictures or video clips
to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could certainly be one of the best in its field.
Superb blog!
I am extremely inspired along with your writing skills as smartly
as with the structure to your blog. Is that this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Either way keep up the nice high quality writing, it’s uncommon to see a
great weblog like this one today..
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a
blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you,
you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not
enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy I found this in my search for something
regarding this.
