Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, has criticized Royal Air Maroc for treating certain Nigerians inhumanely in Morocco’s Marrakesh.
Keyamo claims that the aircraft took off from Casablanca with the intention of landing in Abuja, but due to technical difficulties, it was forced to make an emergency landing in Marrakesh.
However, he pointed out that women and children were sleeping on the floor, and that the passengers—the bulk of whom are Nigerians—had been left at the terminal without food or adequate shelter.
The minister who expressed his concerns via his X handle called on the airline to immediately remedy the situation.
“Whilst I call on ROYAL AIR MAROC
@RAM_Maroc to immediately remedy this situation, I have directed the Consumer Protection Department of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to immediately engage ROYAL AIR MAROC NIGERIA @royalairmarocng to bring immediate relief to these Nigerians,
” Keyamo added.
