[00:11:18] hospital sector as well so these are also projects that

[00:11:53] you know support what the federal government is doing for us at the
[00:11:57] coastal the coastal Legos Calava coastal road if you look
[00:12:00] atxes from down to
[00:12:04] Aj end and going towe you can see that
[00:12:08] contractors are working from end to you
[00:12:12] Zumba by the way so they are complimentary in terms of road infrastructure we're
[00:12:16] working educationally we are also looking at it
[00:12:19] just recently 36 schools were commissioned on the
[00:12:23] same day before this project. are conceived
[00:12:26] we consult them as a government uh before these projects
[00:12:29] are are fully implemented during implementation allow them have
[00:12:33] oversight function of monitoring the projects and he said when the projects are
[00:12:37] concluded the legal state government hands over the project to them to take
[00:12:41] ownership the projects at the community level yes so that is the

[00:13:04] is the the inclusive planning we talk about. we want to
[00:13:08] appreciate the legal state

[00:13:16] commensing a project.
[00:13:20] they always sort for our
[00:13:24] needs. you know, if you don't ask for people's
[00:13:27] need, if you execute any project that is
[00:13:31] not needed for them, it will not be
[00:13:34] appreciated, so for consulting us and
[00:13:38] seeking for our needs before executing any
[00:13:42] project is highly commendable,
[00:13:46] and during the execution
[00:13:49] of projects, we are always being told to
[00:13:53] monitor. All right, now air
[00:13:57] piece chairman Allen Uniema has issued the bluntest warning Nigerian's aviation
[00:14:01] has heard in years that airlines could go extinct within 30
[00:14:04] days unless the federal government intervens. The warning delivered at the Legos
[00:14:08] Book launch touches level levy dispute, field and
[00:14:12] borrowing cost squeeze and a history leatered with airlines that
[00:14:16] did not survive. This was at the
[00:14:20] launch, 30 days deadline for action, or in his
[00:14:24] words. lines may go extinct 5% ticket sales charge at
[00:14:28] the center of all of this issues uh 29 to
[00:14:31] 33% commercial lending rates, according to the airlines and
[00:14:35] say this is very much on
[00:14:37] the high side, it has compounded uh all their cost of
[00:14:40] capital crushing according to them the thin margins that
[00:14:44] they used to have before now. now 30 days uh July
[00:14:48] 8, 2026, union 14-day ultimatum issued to
[00:14:51] AON July 23, 2026, ultimatum
[00:14:55] expires late July Union 7-day final warning August 4,
[00:14:59] 2026, normal picketing notice circulated to police and the
[00:15:03] DSS and August 5th, 2025th. Mr. Yamaha again is
[00:15:06] issuing a 30-day extinction warning talking about critical things
[00:15:10] happening around the sector.
[00:15:14] Now let's talk about the levy, the 5% ticket charge funds Nigeria's aviation
[00:15:18] regulators, it's non-remittance is the immediate flash
[00:15:22] point. NCA, safety and economic regulation. gets
[00:15:25] 56% from this funds, nama air navigation
[00:15:29] services 22% of this funds, naimet, meteorological
[00:15:33] agency, 9%, NCAT, aviation training college,
[00:15:37] 7% and NSIB safety Investigation Bureau gets
[00:15:40] 6%. Now AON's position, no transactional
[00:15:44] relationship with unions on the levy. Remittance is negotiated directly
[00:15:48] with the NCAA. Now a bill is in the wings national assembly bill will
[00:15:51] cut NCAA's share to 40% and raise number to
[00:15:55] 40%, but it's past second reading, it is yet to uh become
[00:15:59] law. Well, let's move on and see other issues here. Jet a1 late
[00:16:03] February selling at about 900 N for liter and at the
[00:16:07] moment. well with intervision of uh Mr. Dangote it's reduced, but it got
[00:16:11] to peak of 3,300 anira per liter
[00:16:15] and 29 to 33% uh interest rate,
[00:16:18] lending rates of it was borrow to cover field cost during
[00:16:22] price spikes, the talking about operational cost here, lending rate here,
[00:16:26] credit issues and all of that, jet faill's most cited
[00:16:30] share of operating cost, some operators statement put it at
[00:16:33] 65%, that's talking about what it takes from their funding,
[00:16:37] just for uh feeling the uh jets and
[00:16:41] of course the aircrafts, dangot is relief, the refinery courtes
[00:16:45] gantry price and offered credit support, but debt from
[00:16:49] earlier high rate borrowing still weighs on cash flows
[00:16:53] of all these uh aviation operators. now a
[00:16:56] selection of nigerian carriers that did not survive the markets, the full list
[00:17:00] is is far runs far longer, but let's see some them Nigerian airways
[00:17:04] 1958, 2003 flag carrier liquidated. with death
[00:17:07] exceeding 500 million US dollars. Sosoliso Airlines sees in
[00:17:11] 2006 is operation after fatal crash. ADC Airlines also
[00:17:15] after fatal crash in 2006-2007. Belv
[00:17:19] airline 2009-2010 sees operation after fatal
[00:17:22] crash. Virgin and algeria and
[00:17:25] airgeria sins in 2012 rebranded twice before
[00:17:29] shorting down entirely. Now shangi airline uh since in
[00:17:32] 2012 long-running shadow career that eventually uh faded
[00:17:36] also we have. avocada airline uh concord airline carbo air
[00:17:40] schedule services and we can go on and on
[00:17:44] and on.
[00:17:45] now Mr. Oyema's 30-day warning lands on decades of same
[00:17:49] pressure, high cost of capital, volatile
[00:17:53] fuel and statutory charges that have already buried well
[00:17:56] over 100 uh carriers. now the number tells the story
[00:18:00] on their own. 30 days to act, 131 airlines lost
[00:18:04] historically and a 5% ticket sales charge display still
[00:18:08] unresolved, the relief measures are real, what this breakdown leaves
[00:18:12] on the screen is whether they arrive before the next name
[00:18:15] joins the list, well that's business news
