Nigeria’s largest airline, Air Peace, “has announced the creation of 1,000 new jobs for fresh graduates through its 2025/2026 Graduate Trainee Programme.”
According to the airline, this is “a direct response to the Federal Government’s recent suspension of the 4 per cent Free on Board levy on imported goods.”
The FOB levy had “caused outcry among manufacturers, importers, and customs agents over claims that the new levy would worsen inflation in the country.”

The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, agreed that the levy “posed risks to trade facilitation, economic stability, and Nigeria’s business climate.”
He explained that the suspension followed “widespread concerns” from stakeholders who argued that the levy “would worsen inflation, erode trade competitiveness, and dampen the investment climate.”
Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyema, praised President Bola Tinubu and Edun for their “responsive leadership” in addressing the concerns.
He stated, “This suspension is a lifeline for the aviation industry. It removes a heavy burden that could have crippled airlines and triggered massive job losses. In turn, Air Peace is reciprocating this kind gesture by creating 1,000 fresh graduate jobs for young Nigerians.”
Onyema further highlighted how “government-private sector synergy can drive meaningful economic impact,” adding, “If further supportive measures like this come from the Federal Government, I can assure you that thousands more jobs will be created in the aviation sector. This is how partnerships can transform a nation.”
The Graduate Trainee Programme, he explained, is a “strategic pipeline for building a competent, future-ready workforce to support the continued growth of the sector.”
To be eligible, applicants must be “30 years old or younger at the time of application with a minimum of Second Class Lower (2:2) in any discipline from a recognised university.”
The airline also said the candidate “must also be in possession of a NYSC discharge certificate, exclusion, or exemption letter and must demonstrate passion, adaptability, and a strong desire to learn.”
