Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, on Wednesday, met with Mr Allen Onyema, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace.

This comes a day after the Speaker announced that the Air Peace boss had been invited to appear before the House to appreciate him for evacuating stranded Nigerians in South Africa.

Announcing Mr Onyema’s visit to his office at the National Assembly, Abuja, in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV on Wednesday, Speaker Gbajabiamila wrote;

“I just met with Mr. Allen Onyema the CEO of @flyairpeace, we owe him gratitude for flying Nigerians stranded in South Africa back home at no cost, his benevolence will not be forgotten. Join me in thanking him.”

Igbere TV had reported that 187 Nigerians, who voluntarily indicated interest to return home following the xenophobic attacks, were airlifted by Air Peace at no cost.

The development caused many Nigerians to heap praises and prayers on Mr Onyema, even as some equally pledged to make Air Peace their official flying company.
