"Your story is really fascinating and I am extremely proud of what you have done and more that you are a Nigerian and I am very sure that just as we took over the entertainment industry, we will certainly break new grounds.’’The Vice President who was full of praises for the young pilot and his team’s achievements said "this is the sort of things that people should hear especially young people, it is really inspiring and younger people must begin to learn from your experience and story, and am glad that you achieved this feat.
"Also, the team is entirely Nigerian and that by itself is certainly a good thing and am sure this portends even greater things for us in the future,’’ he submitted.
On the pilot’s humanitarian project, Prof Osinbajo said that he looked forward to supporting his humanitarian project, but advised that it must be on a scale whatever you plan to do in this area must be on scale because the most important thing you have to focus on is scale so that it can be expanded.
Earlier, Africa’s first solo traveller, Capt. Lola Odujinrin said his goal was to put Nigeria on the world map by being the first African to ``go round the world as a solo pilot and achieve that humanitarian aspect of his dream.’’
In his brief narration about his world flying project, Odujinrin said it was first inspired by his dream to fly aircrafts at the age of 10, stating that ``it is important to share my story in order to inspire kids, adults and everyone about the struggles I went through in life’’.
Capt. Lola Odujinrin flew several hours to 25 countries and made 35 stops in 9 months, making him the first African to attain the feat.
