Notable dignitaries across the country’s aviation sector will tomorrow, Saturday, May 20, 2023, gather at the Nigav Centre at the International wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos to witness the official launch of Mamaj TV.
Behind the latest TV station in town is the well grounded and seasoned all round aviation journalist, who is the founder of popular Mamaj Aviation Consult, Joy Ogbebo.
Commenting on the feat, Ogbebo described the launch as “a groundbreaking moment in the ever-evolving landscape of digital media, and we are honoured to be hosting this historic occasion’.
According to her, the plan to establish Mamaj TV was borne out of her passion for the aviation sector’s development and a decision to create a dedicated channel that will inform and properly educate the society about the industry in a holistic manner.
“Overtime, it’s been observed that most issues between customers and service providers in the Aviation and Tourism industries are largely due to lack of knowledge and the right information. This is a gap we have identified. As Aviation professionals, with decades of experience in Aviation, we are determined to join other media stakeholders in the industry to change the narrative.
“There is no better time to curate contents and create a dedicated channel that will inform and properly educate the society about the industry in a holistic manner. Mamaj Aviation and Tourism TV is a platform that has been created to close this gap. We are excited to join the many Aviation media professionals to promote these industries positively.”, she said.
