Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Segun Runsewe, has lent his voice to the unending plaudits to Mr Allen Onyeama, chairman, Air Peace for the prompt evacuation of Nigerians caught up in xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
He appreciated and commended the Air Peace boss for being culturally sensitive to the cries of Nigerians who wished to return to Nigeria. Many of them had lost their means of livelihood to massive looting, while others were intimidated to leave South Africa.
“Oyeama deserves our support and appreciation. He has shown capacity and candor, attributes expected of those privileged to be in forefront of our socio-economic and political development. His humility and humane gesture resonate with the true culture of our people as their brothers’ keeper,” Runsewe said.

Otunba Runsewe promised to create time to visit the Air Peace boss in Lagos to convey his appreciation for his deep understanding of the Nigerian culture of brotherhood which engenders unity and sacrifice.
Nigeria’s Consul-General in Johannesburg, Godwin Adama; the entire staff and Mrs Abike Dabiri of the Diaspora Commission were also commended by Otunba Runsewe for standing up for the nation and people.
“We at NCAC are happy for this very significant rescue mission to get Nigerians out of trouble and we pray our country will rebound and have good cultural narratives to share with the world, a processe that will bond us together and make Nigeria great again.
“We appreciate all who have contributed to this mission to bring Nigerians back and we wish to emphasise that Nigerians should be culturally sensitive and emulate the good gesture of the Air Peace chairman who remains our model of how to be a true Nigerian,” Runsewe said.
Mr Allen Oyeama in the heat of the xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, volunteered to send an aircraft to evacuate Nigerians willing to return at all cost.
