The government of Israel has announced plans to commence direct flights from Israel to Nigeria in March to enhance trade and tourism between the two countries.
The Deputy Director-General, African Department, Sharon Bar-Li, gave the update while interacting with journalists at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday in Jerusalem.
Sharon noted that the route, expected to be very busy, would serve not only Nigerians but some neighbours in West Africa and Israelis.
El Al Israel Airlines Ltd is the flag carrier of Israel.
When asked if Isreal as a destination of world agricultural innovations has any plan to help Nigeria to attain food security essential in areas ravaged by desert encroachment, Sharon said her country has so much to offer.
She stated this on the backdrop of the country’s long range of experience.
