“Last Flight to Abuja” movie crew and marketing team have been shocked and saddened by the news of the recent crashes of the Allied Air and Dana Air lanes in Ghana and Nigeria. Both crashes claimed over 160 lives.
Mr. Obi Emelonye, director of Last Flight to Abuja and his entire team, dedicate this movie to victims of the crash. May their souls RIP.
“Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow regarding this news, and our thoughts remain with the families of the bereaved and the two nations that have now been plunged into mourning,” the producers of “The Last Flight to Abuja” said.
“Last Flight to Abuja”, they said, “is a movie inspired by the several air disasters that took place in Nigeria in 2006 and with these latest crashes, the issue of air safety in Nigeria, highlighted by the film, remain very important.”
“Last Flight to Abuja” directed by Obi Emelonye, will be premiered at the Troxy Cinema in London on 8th June 2012.
“Our first instinct in the light of the plane crashes was to postpone the premiere of the movie as a mark of respect to the people that have lost their lives and their families. But we have carefully considered things and have decided to go on with the premiere, and for “Last Flight to Abuja” to be dedicated to their memory, but of more importance, we are now considering using this film as a powerful advocacy tool to highlight and influence in our own little way the issues of air safety in Nigeria and Africa at large,” the producers said.
