Women break barriers in Nigeria's male-dominated aviation sector
Nigeria's aviation sector contributes $2.5 billion to GDP and supports 216,700 jobs, but historically male-dominated roles are shifting. Pioneering women now command aircraft, lead airlines, and shape policy at agencies like FAAN and AFCAC. Key figures include Olanike Balogun (first female NCS pilot), Adeola Showemimo (Qatar Airways pilot), and Toyin Olajide (Air Peace MD). Their achievements demonstrate leadership transcends gender, creating opportunities for women in aviation and inspiring future generations.
