Travel content creator Pelumi Nubi has become hugely richer just for following her passion to drive solo from London to Lagos, where Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave her gifts of a new car and an apartment, and she is now going back abroad with a free flight ticket, courtesy of Air Peace.
Sanwo-Olu also paid her bill for the entire trip and made her Lagos Tourism Ambassador – all on behalf of the state government.
Air Peace Chairman Allen Onyema rewarded Pelumi’s effort with a London Business Class return ticket, and commended her for accomplishing her feat during a reception held for her at the headquarters of Air Peace in Lagos.
“You made us proud. At a time when the economy is down, you’ve made Nigeria proud. We are full of joy that you achieved this feat. That is why we said we should acknowledge you. We are really impressed with what you did,” Onyema told her.
“You are part of our national pride. We appreciate what you have done and we have decided to offer you a free Business Class return ticket to London.”
Pelumi expressed appreciation to Air Peace for its generousity and also applauded the airline for its recent launch of the London service which has disrupted the industry by reducing the cost of flight tickets on the route.
She began her solo trip from London on Wednesday January 31, travelled through 17 countries, and arrived in Lagos on Sunday April 7.
