Airline Operators Set To make Emmanson Ambassador

Conflict with officials of Ibom Air, over alleged breach of aviation rules, may have opened doors of opportunities for Comfort Emmanson.

This is because the lady, who has just been discharged by the Nigerian police is on her way to being named ambassador for Airline Operators of Nigeria.

It will be a repeat of the case of fuji music star, Wasiu Aynde Marshal, who after disrupting a Valuejet  flight in Abuja last week, ended up being appointed aviation security ambassador by the Federal Government

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has stated in his official X handle that the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) was also considering making Emmanson ambassador.

“In my discussion last night with the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), they are also looking at the option of using Ms. Comfort Emmanson, who has also shown remorse, as their own Ambassador for good passenger conduct”, the minister stated.

“For further clarification, it is common practice all over the world that a repentant offender is made to preach publicly against the exact conduct from which he has repented.

“It is akin to Community Service. It is not paid for, and it is a voluntary service.

“Unfortunately, in Nigeria, some would assume that once you hear the word ‘Ambassador’, it is a big position that comes with the perquisites of office.

“No, it is not. It is free. It is not the first time it has happened in Nigeria, and it will not be the last. Examples abound of such roles given to repentant persons by previous governments in Nigeria

“Whilst the Aviation agencies are considering using KWAM 1 for such a role, in my discussion last night with the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), they are also looking at the option of using Ms. Comfort Emmanson, who has also shown remorse, as their own Ambassador for good passenger conduct.

“It is left for the AON to work out those details since she was actually released from prison custody today based on my earlier statement,” he added.
