FG Unveils Plans For Aircraft Manufacturing In Nigeria

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has revealed the Federal Government’s plan to set up an aircraft manufacturing company in Nigeria.

He stated that the initiative aligns with the government’s goal to empower local operators and enhance the nation’s aviation sector. Keyamo made this disclosure at the inauguration of XeJet’s Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility and flight support center in Abuja.

The facility, a partnership between XeJet and local banks, aims to position Nigeria as a regional hub for aviation services.

Keyamo said: “Since we came to office, we’ve been focused on attracting MRO facilities to our aviation ecosystem, just as they exist in other parts of the world.

“We’ve searched far and wide for investors, but now we see that what we were looking for elsewhere is right here at home. This collaboration between an indigenous operator and local banks is a dream come true.”

Emphasising the project’s significance, the minister noted the inclusion of additional facilities, such as a training centre, which he described as “a huge achievement.”

Keyamo added: “This development will not only serve Nigeria but will attract users from across the West African sub-region. That’s the dream—to make this facility a regional center for excellence.”
