Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, says the country has Africa’s largest number of private jets. Keyamo reports that nearly 240 private jets are currently operating in Nigeria, and he describes this as the highest private jet fleet on the continent. He made the disclosure in Montréal, Canada, during a strategic engagement with Bombardier Inc., the Canadian aircraft manufacturer. Both outlets report that the discussions with Bombardier focus on potential business and partnership opportunities tied to the development of Nigeria’s aviation sector. Keyamo presents the fleet size as an indicator of growing aviation activity in the country and as a basis for further collaboration with international manufacturers. The reports do not provide additional verification details, such as the source of the jet count or the specific criteria used to define “private jets.”
