The Nigerian government is considering a "seat-for-debt" arrangement to allow domestic airlines to repay government debts by providing a percentage of seats on commercial flights for state use, aiming to ease cash flow issues for carriers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your Nigerian aviation venture will face a payment shift as government debt repayment might invert into state seat allocations, which could affect your cash flow and client mix this year.
