00:11:03cycle every single project every projects impacts the lives of negotiants
00:11:07and of nigerian so these are big projects that you can highlight that you can hear
00:11:11but there are also projects there this projects that are done by scripts uh
00:11:14by sub the school redevelopment projects projects that are done in the
00:11:18hospital sector as well so these are also projects that
00:11:21you know impact the lives of negotiants so which is why i'm trying emphasize that you know as
00:11:25we we highlight this brick projects, it's important for us also know that this projects cut
00:11:28across uh all the strata of what we do and
00:11:32it is important to know that every single na cover that is expended
00:11:35you ensure that mne evaluates it and we can give account of it. ligocians
00:11:39in very few months you will see the rail line
00:11:43you can commit from marina to tradefare it is
00:11:47very deliberate we have infrastructure project in terms of
00:11:51road that we are doing to
00:11:53you know support what the federal government is doing for us at the
00:11:57coastal the coastal Legos Calava coastal road if you look
00:12:00atxes from down to
00:12:04Aj end and going towe you can see that
00:12:08contractors are working from end to you
00:12:12Zumba by the way so they are complimentary in terms of road infrastructure we're
00:12:16working educationally we are also looking at it
00:12:19just recently 36 schools were commissioned on the
00:12:23same day before this project. are conceived
00:12:26we consult them as a government uh before these projects
00:12:29are are fully implemented during implementation allow them have
00:12:33oversight function of monitoring the projects and he said when the projects are
00:12:37concluded the legal state government hands over the project to them to take
00:12:41ownership the projects at the community level yes so that is the
00:12:45involvement the community they design the projects because they bring the project
00:12:49to us to say this is what we want you fund they monitor the projects to
00:12:52ensure that our standards are built. and the project are in line
00:12:56with what they want as community and they take over the project
00:13:00ownership to ensure sustainability the project and that
00:13:04is the the inclusive planning we talk about. we want to
00:13:08appreciate the legal state
00:13:10government for
00:13:14consulting us before
00:13:16commensing a project.
00:13:20they always sort for our
00:13:24needs. you know, if you don't ask for people's
00:13:27need, if you execute any project that is
00:13:31not needed for them, it will not be
00:13:34appreciated, so for consulting us and
00:13:38seeking for our needs before executing any
00:13:42project is highly commendable,
00:13:46and during the execution
00:13:49of projects, we are always being told to
00:13:53monitor. All right, now air
00:13:57piece chairman Allen Uniema has issued the bluntest warning Nigerian's aviation
00:14:01has heard in years that airlines could go extinct within 30
00:14:04days unless the federal government intervens. The warning delivered at the Legos
00:14:08Book launch touches level levy dispute, field and
00:14:12borrowing cost squeeze and a history leatered with airlines that
00:14:16did not survive. This was at the
00:14:20launch, 30 days deadline for action, or in his
00:14:24words. lines may go extinct 5% ticket sales charge at
00:14:28the center of all of this issues uh 29 to
00:14:3133% commercial lending rates, according to the airlines and
00:14:35say this is very much on
00:14:37the high side, it has compounded uh all their cost of
00:14:40capital crushing according to them the thin margins that
00:14:44they used to have before now. now 30 days uh July
00:14:488, 2026, union 14-day ultimatum issued to
00:14:51AON July 23, 2026, ultimatum
00:14:55expires late July Union 7-day final warning August 4,
00:14:592026, normal picketing notice circulated to police and the
00:15:03DSS and August 5th, 2025th. Mr. Yamaha again is
00:15:06issuing a 30-day extinction warning talking about critical things
00:15:10happening around the sector.
00:15:14Now let's talk about the levy, the 5% ticket charge funds Nigeria's aviation
00:15:18regulators, it's non-remittance is the immediate flash
00:15:22point. NCA, safety and economic regulation. gets
00:15:2556% from this funds, nama air navigation
00:15:29services 22% of this funds, naimet, meteorological
00:15:33agency, 9%, NCAT, aviation training college,
00:15:377% and NSIB safety Investigation Bureau gets
00:15:406%. Now AON's position, no transactional
00:15:44relationship with unions on the levy. Remittance is negotiated directly
00:15:48with the NCAA. Now a bill is in the wings national assembly bill will
00:15:51cut NCAA's share to 40% and raise number to
00:15:5540%, but it's past second reading, it is yet to uh become
00:15:59law. Well, let's move on and see other issues here. Jet a1 late
00:16:03February selling at about 900 N for liter and at the
00:16:07moment. well with intervision of uh Mr. Dangote it's reduced, but it got
00:16:11to peak of 3,300 anira per liter
00:16:15and 29 to 33% uh interest rate,
00:16:18lending rates of it was borrow to cover field cost during
00:16:22price spikes, the talking about operational cost here, lending rate here,
00:16:26credit issues and all of that, jet faill's most cited
00:16:30share of operating cost, some operators statement put it at
00:16:3365%, that's talking about what it takes from their funding,
00:16:37just for uh feeling the uh jets and
00:16:41of course the aircrafts, dangot is relief, the refinery courtes
00:16:45gantry price and offered credit support, but debt from
00:16:49earlier high rate borrowing still weighs on cash flows
00:16:53of all these uh aviation operators. now a
00:16:56selection of nigerian carriers that did not survive the markets, the full list
00:17:00is is far runs far longer, but let's see some them Nigerian airways
00:17:041958, 2003 flag carrier liquidated. with death
00:17:07exceeding 500 million US dollars. Sosoliso Airlines sees in
00:17:112006 is operation after fatal crash. ADC Airlines also
00:17:15after fatal crash in 2006-2007. Belv
00:17:19airline 2009-2010 sees operation after fatal
00:17:22crash. Virgin and algeria and
00:17:25airgeria sins in 2012 rebranded twice before
00:17:29shorting down entirely. Now shangi airline uh since in
00:17:322012 long-running shadow career that eventually uh faded
00:17:36also we have. avocada airline uh concord airline carbo air
00:17:40schedule services and we can go on and on
00:17:44and on.
00:17:45now Mr. Oyema's 30-day warning lands on decades of same
00:17:49pressure, high cost of capital, volatile
00:17:53fuel and statutory charges that have already buried well
00:17:56over 100 uh carriers. now the number tells the story
00:18:00on their own. 30 days to act, 131 airlines lost
00:18:04historically and a 5% ticket sales charge display still
00:18:08unresolved, the relief measures are real, what this breakdown leaves
00:18:12on the screen is whether they arrive before the next name
00:18:15joins the list, well that's business news
