Obasanjo Urged to Resolve Slok Air Crisis From Funmi Peter-Omale in Jos President Olusegun Obasanjo has been urged to wade into the face-off between Aviation Minister, Alhaji Isa Yuguda and Slok Air over the latter's ban, because of alleged breach of regulations. Senior station manager for the airline in Plateau State, Abdulkareem Idris, in a press statement in Jos, said the issue has become "a matter of national urgency." According to him, "the lives and welfare of over 1,000 staff and thousands of dependants were at stake." Asides this, Idris noted that the continuous ban of Slok would constitute an embarrassing clog in government's poverty alleviation and reduction programmes. "These workers are being laid off by this promising airline specifically established to raise the stakes in the highly capital intensive aviation sector. The airline was designed to reposition Nigeria to her rightful place in the world of aviation services. This national pride must not be allowed to die," Idris said. While maintaining that management had employed every possible means to prove and defend the airline against the allegations leveled against it, the manager asserted that the company parades the best brains in the industry.
