SKC Ogbonnia speaks on Enugu Air accident (Full Statement)

I join millions of Nigerians today in extending my profound gratitude to the Almighty God for His divine protection following the runway excursion involving an Enugu Air aircraft at the Benin Airport.
Reports confirming that all 68 passengers and crew members disembarked safely with zero injuries are a massive answer to prayer. I commend the swift response of the emergency teams and the crew whose training and composure averted what could have been a major national tragedy.

As someone who chose Enugu Air as my primary carrier throughout my election campaign for the Enugu West Senate seat, I can personally attest to the airline’s exceptional standards. Throughout my travels, I enjoyed some of the smoothest, most punctual, and highly professional operations in contemporary Nigerian aviation. The dedication of their team has been nothing but exemplary.

Aviation incidents happen globally, but the true measure of an airline is its structural integrity, flight discipline, and rapid crisis management. Enugu Air has proven its resilience and commitment to safety protocols even under pressure.

I explicitly pass a vote of confidence on Enugu Air and urge the flying public to continue their robust patronage and support for this stellar airline. They remain a pride to our region and a shining model for domestic air travel in Nigeria.

Dr. SKC Ogbonnia
