The Managing Director of Ufitfly Travel Agency, Evangelist Ogunkeyede Ajibola, has called on the federal government to
strengthen its relationship with the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) to boost the economy of Nigeria.
While expressing regrets at an earlier visa ban on Nigerians which was later lifted, Ajibola said deliberate efforts should be made for such not to repeat itself.
He made the remarks during a chat with newsmen at the recently concluded global convention of Prophet Sam Olu-Alo’s Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, where he noted Nigeria and Nigerians will gain a lot when the two countries interrelate well.
“I want to advise the Minister of Aviation, Mr Festus Keyamo, to do everything necessary to address the issue. Because of the bilateral relation between the two countries, if it is strengthened, it will help boost our nation’s economy.
“This is because,Nigerians will have unhindered access to Dubai to do business and to exchange a kind of international relations and this will have great effects on our economy. So, I am appealing to the minister to impress this on President Bola Tinubu-led federal government to expedite action on their discussion with the government of Dubai to resolve the matter and ensure that Dubai is always open to Nigerians to enter for business transactions and vice versa.”
Speaking on private sector managing airports in the country, Ajibola said such will ensure effective running and management of the airports.
According to him, “That is what is happening in most developed countries of the world even in the UK. Privatisation has been helpful to most countries that are into it.
“It will be good for the system if private bodies and entities are given the right of managing our airports. There will be massive change, good maintenance of facilities and transformation in the aviation sector if such is introduced.”
On the need to resuscitate the country’s national airline, Nigeria Air, Ajibola said, “If the airline is launched and make a partnership agreement with the private sector, I am very sure it will come out to be that giant of Africa in the aviation sector irrespective of the year it started . Of course, we might have got it wrong in the past, but it is not bad to start again. So, I believe that Nigeria Air will come back in this era of President Tinubu.”
He disclosed that God has been using Prophet Sam Olu-Alo to help and airlift young people like him especially young entrepreneurs, saying the man of God was the first to break the record of airlifting over 500 people to Jordan over a year ago.
“He is like John, the forerunner and he has been of tremendous help to the company called Ufitfly even up till now. We are also planning a trip to Turkey and Jordan with the people who share in the vision of his ministry in the next few months, so God has really been using him and his ministry in shaping the lives of people.
“God performed miracles in the lives of people who were with us at the mountain where John the Baptist was beheaded after we had prayed.
“We prayed about breaking record, it was shortly after that we broke the record in Israel through the man of God , Prophet Taiwo Ojo with over 2500 from Nigeria and other parts of the world were airlifted to Israel.It should be noted that this came through the prophecy God gave to our father, Prophet Olu-Alo.”
Also speaking, Pastor Okegbemi Niyi Lekan ,popularly known as Evangelist Jesugbemi GIG. noted God has been using Prophet Olu-Alo across the globe for the work of miracles, signs and wonders.
“About three week ago, we were with him in Ivory Coast for a revival, where God used him for the deliverance of over 7000 Nigerians and citizens of that country as well as those in diaspora.
God has also been using him mightily for the people in Nigeria as well.”
He urged people to keep praying for Nigeria to receive the mercy of God. “The God who showed the people of Samaria then is still alive and he will have mercy on Nigeria.”
At the convention, members and non-members of the ministry were empowered.
Some of the young people that were empowered by the ministry, are Elizabeth Adekunle, Adeyemi Oluwaloni who were trained as makeup artists and given working tools to start their business.
Physically challenged persons, Gbenga Adekoya and Ibrahim Fowomola also received cash gifts to boost their shoe making business.
Adekoya advised others living with disabilities not to make begging their source of income but learn a trade or vocation to be self reliant.
All the beneficiaries who appreciated Prophet Olu-Alo for his good gestures advised other beneficiaries to use what has been given to them to better their lives.
