Akporiaye also said the association was committed to protecting its members and their businesses from any form of exploitation and unfair practices from any quarter.

She said: “We strongly view from our professional experience and knowledge of fare mechanism, that the reactions of foreign airlines on trapped funds is grossly unfair to the Nigerian travelling public and gravely threatens the survival of NANTA members.”

Also speaking, Babatunde Irukera, FCCPC vice-chairman, commended NANTA’s leadership for the trust and confidence in government-structured competition and consumer protection ecosystem.

He said: “We at FCCPC welcome your request for guidance and will do our best to help determine possible steps to solve this problem which affects Nigerians,”.
