Fully armed to the teeth with the fearlessness of Achilles and grace of Terpsichore, Barrister Allen Onyema, head honcho of Nigeria’s Air Peace, is no pushover in the league of extraordinary business moguls, who developed an interest in the growth of Nigeria. Allen’s investment in Nigeria has created direct and indirect employment, increasing his fleet with brand new aircraft thereby globalizing Nigeria’s aviation sector by flying Nigeria high across the sky to the rest of the world. Despite his success, some unscrupulous elements are hell-bent on dragging him in the mud with disparaging and libellous claims.
If you wonder how he was able to break barriers by rising to an enviable height in business, his passion, patriotism and love for impacting his immediate environment further spurred him to greatness. Despite his many philanthropic and patriotic works, he is setting new records by giving Nigeria a ray of hope. While many airlines are folding up due to high maintenance, costs of aviation fuel and other debt-related issues, the trained lawyer from the University of Ibadan was able to manage the company, waiving off issues set to sink it. In a bid to further increase its flying routes apart from Dubai and Johannesburg, Airpeace flew 240 passengers from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos to Guangzhou, China last week in one of its flagship aircraft for an inaugural flight. This is a feat that was widely celebrated as it will reduce travel time and save the stress of connecting flights. Sources averred that the airline plans to code-share with Asian carriers to distribute passengers to other destinations outside Guangzhou, China.
