The Federal Government is gearing up to ban foreign airlines from selling tickets in U.S. dollars, according to Yinka Folami, President of the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA).
Speaking in Lagos, Folami described the dollarization of ticket sales as “a crime against the economy”, stressing that the move is part of broader efforts to protect the naira and Nigeria’s forex reserves.
“I am pleased to inform Nigerians that the government is actively addressing the sale of tickets in foreign currency… this practice is outdated and will soon be phased out,” he said.
He noted that until Nigeria develops a strong national carrier, issues like these will persist — and called on Nigerians to support Air Peace, commending its expansion into London routes as a bold patriotic move.
🇳🇬 “It is both a patriotic duty and responsibility to support Air Peace,” Folami added.
