A Deserving Award for Air Peace Boss, Allen Onyema 

What would have happened to Nigeria’s aviation sector if Allen Onyema did not come into the industry at the time he did? This is the question on the lips of many Nigerians who have been wowed by the gigantic and monstrous contribution of the aviation guru.

That the Air Peace Chairman is a blessing to the nation’s aviation sector is no longer contestable. His emergence into the industry heralds a monumental gift for the sector, and this is no gainsaying. It is on record how the man single-handedly revolutionised the aviation sector in Nigeria and changed the landscape even when not many believed he could.    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’s journey epitomises strength, reliability, and consistency, and resulted in establishing Air Peace as a source of national pride for Nigerians.

 However, the voyage was never a smooth one, every step of the way, both here and abroad, he has endured insults and encountered countless obstacles that have been thrown across his path by hostile enemies of progress and envious competitors.

 Since he founded Air Peace, things have never been the same in the industry, he has launched the nation’s aviation sector onto the global map and has grown astronomically in the last 10 years beyond the imagination of many. 

Apart from his business wizardry, the aviation top shot, for the umpteenth time, has proven that his love for his fatherland appears inextinguishable.

Last Friday, the trained lawyer once again stood tall and shone brightly when he received the Vanguard Personality of the Year 2023 award at the prestigious Eko Hotels and Suites. It was a night of honour, torrents of encomium for the quintessential aviation guru. It was indeed a well-deserved award.
