Senator Adamu Aliero has called for an urgent suspension of recent airfare price hikes, citing the skyrocketing cost of traveling within Nigeria. Speaking about the financial burden, Aliero revealed, “Going to Kebbi myself, I have to spend close to about N700k. This is unaffordable,” highlighting the challenges ordinary Nigerians face amid rising travel expenses.
The senator’s remarks come as passengers across the country express frustration over escalating ticket prices, which have affected both business and personal travel. Lawmakers and advocacy groups are increasingly calling on regulators and airlines to review the pricing structure to ensure accessibility and fairness for travelers.
Aliero’s intervention underscores growing public concern over transportation costs and the broader economic impact of unaffordable domestic travel. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news details and follow us on all our social media platforms.
