The Chairman, House Committee on Aviation, Rep. Nnolim Nnaji, said that the commencement of direct flight to China would bring a huge relief to Nigerians and citizens of other African countries who travel regularly on business trips to China.

He said: “Nigeria and indeed Africa share huge business and cultural ties and the direct air link will further strengthen such relationships.
