The Senate has threatened to review Nigeria’s Bilateral Air Service Agreement with China unless Nigerian airlines are granted reciprocal rights to operate direct flights to the Asian country. The resolution, which followed a motion by the Senate Leader, urged the federal government to renegotiate the agreement to ensure equal opportunities in international air travel. The agreement was originally signed to establish direct commercial air links and regulate flight operations between the two nations.
