\u201cThis is how we should build Africa; your concern is our concern and our concern yours. You can learn from us and we will learn from you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Director of Civil Aviation, Guinea, Mr. Mamady Kaba, said Med-View had fulfilled part of the Yamoussoukro Declaration of 1988, on principles of air services within the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nigeria\u2019s Ambassador to Guinea, Bala Mariga, described the development as historic and something to be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI pray this will go on for generations to come. When we were coming here, we came through a foreign airline and today, I am proud that we have our airline here. This will help Nigerians to invest in Guinea and vice versa,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ambassador of Guinea to Nigeria, <\/span>Gaossou Toure, also described Med-View as a dynamic airline capable of bringing about the <\/span>liberalization of airspace, adding that the aim of the company was to integrate ECOWAS.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ambassador of Senegal to Nigeria, Abubakar Samb, who accompanied the airline on the journey, said\u00a0 Med-View would help ease trade within the sub-region as well as deepen the partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Managing Director and Chairman of Med-View Airline, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, said he was optimistic that the integration would bring about peace, harmony and economic prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cOur fathers who set up ECOWAS to integrate all members into one family had <\/span>vision and a plan. We are making that come to pass. This is the beginning of a big relationship as we are going to integrate all of West Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n
