Aviation Top Player, Allen Onyema, Celebrates at 59

Take a cursory look at his profile, and you will not agree less that Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace is a  businessman blessed with a clear vision. For him, the journey on the boulevard of fame and mega success began some eight years ago. He only grew higher at the time having tasted success from his first love, law. At that time, he was prodded by the desire to leave his imprints on the sands of time.

He would later conceptualise Air Peace. When the company was birthed, little did he know that in no time it would redefine the aviation industry. Before his eyes, the company has grown to become one of the most successful airline companies in Africa.

Onyema, in eight years, has taken the airline to many countries across the world and refused to be drawn back by naysayers. In fact, he has surpassed the expectations of many who had earlier thought nothing good could ever come from Nigeria. The trained lawyer has continued to make the country proud as he hoists its flag in many countries of the world via Air Peace. Despite his rising profile, the indisputably influential businessman has refused to rest on his oars. He recently announced his plan to fly Air Peace to all the continents of the world.  Those who are familiar with his antecedents say it was not a tall dream in any way.     

Last week Tuesday, the ingenious aviation top player clocked 59, although he didn’t roll out drums in celebration of the day, his families, friends, close associates as well as staffers made the day a memorable one for him as he was greeted with an avalanche of goodwill, laudation and encomium.
