A Nigerian man has expressed frustration over the rising cost of air travel, highlighting the steep price of flights from Ekiti to Abuja. In a social media post that quickly went viral, he wrote:
"Ekiti to Abuja by air 600k????? How much is ransom????"
The post reflects growing public concern over soaring domestic airfare in Nigeria, which has left many passengers questioning the affordability of air travel for business, personal, and emergency trips. Citizens noted that the high prices could restrict mobility and make travel accessible only to the wealthy, further fueling debates about the need for regulatory oversight and affordable airline services.
Travel industry experts say factors like fuel costs, airline operational expenses, and exchange rates contribute to the surge in ticket prices, but many Nigerians insist that such costs are excessive and unsustainable.
The viral post has sparked discussions online, with users sharing tips, complaints, and calls for government intervention to ensure that domestic air travel remains affordable for ordinary Nigerians.
