The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has frowned at foreign airlines selling tickets in dollars, warning that government would not take it kindly with those caught engaging in such violation of Nigerian laws.
Sirika gave the warning while fielding questions from State House correspondents at the end of the virtual meeting of the Federal Executive Council FEC in Abuja.
The minister revealed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority NCAA had been instructed to swing into action by protecting the interest of Nigerians against reported airlines’ operations malpractices.
He warned that no violator, no matter how highly placed, would be spared if caught in the act.
According to him, findings at government’s disposal have indicated that some of the airlines are refusing naira and charging their ticket fares in dollars in violation of the country’s laws.
