The Quest Times reports that the 2023 Annual General Conference of the NBA is scheduled for Aug. 25 to Sept. 1 2023, in Abuja.
According to Maikyau, the theme of the NBA’s Annual General Conference 2023 is “Getting it Right: Charting the Course for Nigeria’s Nation Building’’.
He said that Ethiopia got it right in aviation and several other sectors.
“And the NBA believes that the partnership would give us an opportunity to hear from the Ethiopian Airlines and some other aspects of their economy on how they got it right.
“Today the Ethiopian Airlines is the pride of Africa, everywhere I go, I would have loved to see the Nigerian flag flying, but now that it is not what is happening.
It is a consolation for me to see what is happening in the continent of Africa, that there has arisen an aviation entity that is making the continent proud,’’ Maikyau said.
The NBA President added that learning from the Ethiopian Airlines experience would equip lawyers with additional tools in the discharge of their responsibility in holding government accountable.
“This will also help in calling the government’s attention to areas of success and providing the right advice.
