One of the chieftains of the All Progressive Congress, APC and current Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo has told foreign airlines that the practice of warming frozen meals and serving the citizens of Nigeria will no longer be accepted.
This statement was contained in a report that was published by CHANNELS TV on Wednesday.
The Minister of Aviation stated that local caterers can also prepare continental dishes or any meals as per the airlines’ specifications.
Festus Keyamo said directing foreign airlines on outbound flights to patronize local caterers is not the same as instructing them to serve local dishes.
The Minister of Aviation was quoted as saying that;
“This is to clarify that directing foreign airlines on outbound flights to patronize our local caterers is not the same as instructing them to serve local dishes. Our local caterers can also prepare continental dishes or any meals as per the airlines’ specifications. The age-old practice of bringing frozen meals from their countries and then warming and serving them on outbound flights, predominantly to our own citizens, is no longer acceptable”.
