Israel To Begin Direct Flights To Nigeria

The Israeli government has announced plans to carry out direct flight operations from Israel to Nigeria in March to enhance trade and tourism between the two countries.

The Deputy Director-General, African Department, Sharon Bar-Li, stated this while interacting with journalists at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tuesday in Jerusalem.

Sharon noted that the route, expected to be very busy, would serve not only Nigerians but some neighbours in West Africa and Israelis.

On whether Isreal as a destination of world agricultural innovations has any plan to help Nigeria to attain food security essential in areas ravaged by desert encroachment, Sharon said her country has so much to offer banking of her long range of experience.
