The President of the association, Comrade Chinedu Ukatu, who spoke at the event, described the deal as a strategic move aimed at strengthening business operations among members.
He said, “The Ndigboamaka Progressive Markets Association and United Nigeria Airlines are today officially signing an MOU adopting the airline as our official partner and carrier. This is a remarkable day for us as traders, and it is a symbiotic relationship that will benefit both parties.”
Ukatu noted that the decision to partner with the airline was influenced by its emphasis on safety and its track record in the aviation sector, adding that the collaboration would facilitate smoother business activities for members who frequently travel across the country.
