Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has praised the management of local airline, Air Peace, for using the popular Isi Agu clothing material for its air hostesses’ uniform.
Air Peace has been in the news in recent times following its March 30 commencement of direct flights to London, United Kingdom.
A photo of the airline’s hostesses in London with their colourful Isi Agu uniforms has also taken the internet by storm.
Omokri, who is a promoter of made-in-Nigeria products, praised Air Peace for its initiative.
“May God bless Chief Allen Onyema of AirPeace and whoever came up with the beautiful idea of using Isi-agu to design Air Peace flight attendants’ uniforms. I have flown on multiple airlines, and I know that airlines use the cultural outfits of their countries of origin as their air hosts and hostesses’ outfits. There is nothing wrong with it.
“Ethiopian Airlines will not only clothe their stunningly beautiful air hostesses in Habesha kemis, they will even speak to you via their public address system first in Amharic, before talking to you in English. Please be aware that there are over seventy ethnic groups with their own languages in Ethiopia. They cannot speak all. So they chose Amharic.
“I flew with these air hostesses in the attached photo, and you can see that their headgear is unique. It reflects their country of origin.
“Not only do I support Air Peace’s Isi-Agu uniform, and pray for the success of the airline, but I also appeal to all my followers to patronise Air Peace in the spirit of #GrowNairaBuyNaija, except they do not fly your route,” he said.
