The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has announced that Nigeria’s global aviation rating has significantly improved, reaching 75.5 percent. Keyamo made this disclosure during the commissioning of the Juhi-2 Aviation Fuel Depot at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos on Thursday.
Keyamo highlighted that this improvement means Nigeria is no longer blacklisted globally, a development that positively impacts the country’s aviation industry. With the new rating, airlines in Nigeria can now access dry lease aircraft, a step expected to enhance the nation’s aviation sector.
The minister expressed optimism about the future, assuring that the country would soon see an increase in the number of aircraft. He suggested that Juhi-2 Aviation Fuel Depot may need to expand its capacity to accommodate the anticipated growth in aircraft traffic.
Patience Dappa, the Chairman of Juhi-2, also spoke at the event, emphasizing the company’s commitment to excellence and innovation in aviation fuel management. She noted that the completion of the Juhi-2 project, the largest airside jet fuel depot in Nigeria, demonstrates the company’s dedication to supporting the aviation industry.
Dappa highlighted that the facility, covering 46,000 square meters, has a storage capacity of 15 million liters of Jet A1 fuel, underscoring its significant role in fueling Nigeria’s aviation growth.
