Human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has berated Nigerian domestic airlines and aviation regulators for failing passengers, describing the situation at the country's airports as a "customer service debacle" after encountering travellers stranded for at least 11 hours at the airport.
In a post on X on Monday, June 22, 2026, Sowore recounted meeting passengers scheduled to travel from Lagos to Owerri aboard United Nigeria Airlines, saying that they had been left without proper information or care despite prolonged delays.
"The Customer Service Debacle at Nigerian Airports. Yesterday, I met several passengers scheduled to travel from Lagos to Owerri on United Nigeria Airlines.
"They had been abandoned to their fate after spending the entire day at the airport. Some had been stranded for more than 11 hours, while the airline repeatedly postponed their departure time without providing clear explanations or adequate care," Sowore wrote.
