“They will be making a presentation on how exporters can be assisted to do more through aviation. NEPC is at the heart of all projects to lift Aviacargo in Nigeria. The gazetting of four airports as export processing zones brings to fore the importance of the Nigerian Export Processing Zones Authority NEPZA to the growth of Aviacargo in Nigeria.

“NEPZA will be at chinet to showcase the opportunities available to investors at the Airports. NEPC and NEPZA will be joining the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and Ethiopian Airlines as major partners of the first Aviacargo event in Nigeria. The two leading Aviation Cargo and Logistics companies in Nigeria NAHCO and SAHCO will be major players at this event along with many airlines, logistics and global financial service companies, “he said.

Since 1935, aviation has been growing in Nigeria. With so many Airlines and Airports it is expected that Aviation should and would contribute more to the nation’s economy. The conveners of this event ATQNews, a global Pan African Travel News organisation says that the conference is long overdue.

In its introductory message it says that “Nigeria a country with over 200 million resourceful people depends a lot on imports this has been eroding the national wealth. A lot of airlines bring freighters daily to Nigeria and most of them fly out empty. There is therefore a need to change this dysfunctional scenario. Nigeria needs to export more and Aviation should be the key to increasing exports. ATQNews therefore seeks to convene an annual conference that brings all potential Exporters, Cargo managers, Logistics firms, Airlines, Airports, Customs and everyone in the Aviation and Cargo ecosystem to chart a pathway that enables Nigerians to export more. As the importance of oil wanes, the value and volume of non-oil export should be growing and Aviation should be driving it,” the organiser, Ambassador Ikechi Uko, publisher of ATQNews said.

“The Conference, which would have an exhibition part would be broken into three Parts over two days, Aviation, Cargo and Exports. The Aviation aspect would have a Presentation and Panel Discussion on ‘Airlines, Airports and Aviation.’ Experts including airline CEOs, past airport CEOs and aviators will discuss the reasons why our airlines and airport systems have not delivered the best possible outcomes for aviation in Nigeria.

“The Second Section on Cargo will be presentations and panel Discussions on the Cargo and Logistics Value Chain the Challenges of Scale and the Opportunities available. The third Part will be on Export. How do we scale our Export Capacity? How do we remove the impediments and improve our access and market Penetration Globally. There will a Support Session on Insurance and Financing of Aviation, Cargo and Export in Nigeria,” Ambassador Ukoh said.
