Bankole Bernard, NANTA’s president asked the bank to provide funding to the travelling public in order to guarantee steady income for members of the association who will then earn commission from passengers who travel with the airlines.

 

Earlier, the Head of Sterling Bank’s Transport & Maritime Sector, Olusegun Akinsanya said the bank would put together series of products for operators in the sector in line with their unique business model “to enable us customize them in line with your requirements and peculiar situation.”
