Imo Govt Commends Dana for Owerri–Abuja Flights

The Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha has commended Dana Air for introducing Owerri - Abuja –Owerri flights.

Okorocha praised the airline after its inaugural flight from the Sam Mbakwe International Airport Owerri to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The Governor who was represented by his Special Adviser, Ikenna Eme, said the commencement of Owerri to Abuja flight by Dana, has brought needed succour to the good people of Imo state who have had to pay more for less on the route.

“Today we have witnessed development and expansion. We are happy that Dana Air is living up to expectations. The flight was smooth and on-time and this is what we have been asking for on this route. Our people have been paying too much for less on this route and we thank Dana Air for this development,” the governor said.

“It is the desire of our visionary Governor, His Excellency, Rochas Okorocha, to make Imo state a hub in the south east and our partnership with Dana Air has increased traffic to our state, because of their convenient fares, quality service and most of all, our people are time-conscious and Dana Air is a time-conscious airline,” he added.

Also speaking on the introduction of flights from Owerri to Abuja, the Accountable Manager of Dana Air, Mr. Obi Mbanuo said it has provided a smart alternative for the good people of Imo state and contributing positively to the economy and development of Imo state, adding that it had always been the airline’s desire “and the crux of our existing partnership with the Imo state government; and we are committed to linking Owerri to other parts of Nigeria, as the commercial nerve centre of the south east.”

Meanwhile, Dana Air has been unveiled as the official airline of the homecoming reception organised by the Imo state government, for the 2018 winner of the Big Brother Naija Reality show, Mr. Miracle Igbokwe, who is from the state and coincidentally, a pilot.
