Nigeria and Jamaica are moving towards strengthening their aviation ties as both countries prepare to conclude and sign a reviewed Bilateral Air Services Agreement, with the formal endorsement expected to take place in Jamaica later this year.
This was made known through a statement signed by Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, on Wednesday.
The development followed a meeting between the Minister and the Jamaican High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lincoln Downer, during which both parties discussed the finalisation of the agreement.
The proposed deal is expected to provide a stronger framework for aviation cooperation, improve air connectivity and create opportunities for increased travel, tourism and economic exchanges between the two countries.Speaking during the meeting, Downer expressed satisfaction with the progress made on the agreement, saying both countries had reached an advanced stage and were now working towards fixing a date for its signing.
