    Nigeria working toward ICAO Standard

    Long known for substandard aviation, changes seem to be in Nigeria’s future.

    Nigeria’s airports are slated to be revamped to meet international standards according to Stella Oduah, Minister of Aviation. Safety and security are intended to be the new priority, as they aim for “zero” accidents.

    Infrastructure and services are also slated to be improved.
