NESH AVIATION ROUNDTABLE: CEOS MAP THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA’S AVIATION SECTOR IN 2026

Описание: Nigeria’s aviation sector took center stage as industry leaders, policymakers, and aviation experts converged for the NESH Aviation Roundtable, a timely gathering aimed at strengthening one of the country’s most critical engines of mobility and economic growth.

Widely regarded as one of the safest modes of transportation globally, aviation remains central to the movement of people and goods, business connectivity, and national development. Yet, despite its growth potential, the sector has faced recurring challenges—from flight delays and rising ticket costs, particularly during peak travel seasons, to operational and service delivery concerns.

Against this backdrop, the roundtable, themed “CEOs’ Outlook for the Nigerian Aviation Sector in 2026,” provided a strategic platform for frank conversations and forward-looking solutions. The Convener and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria and Entrepreneurship Summit and Honors (NESH), Emeka Ugwu-Oju, noted that the forum was designed to move beyond diagnosis and into solution mode—bringing decision-makers into one room to rethink efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

Participants described the engagement as timely and necessary, stressing that the sector’s current realities demand collaboration, innovation, and policy alignment. From safety standards to customer experience, infrastructure gaps, and the economics of air travel, no issue was left untouched.

According to the convener, the roundtable achieved its core objectives, reinforcing NESH’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to the growth of a more robust, resilient, and globally competitive Nigerian aviation sector. As conversations now give way to implementation, the spotlight turns to how these expert insights will shape the skies Nigeria flies into next.
