The first aircraft landed in Nigeria

1925

The first aircraft landed in Nigeria on November 1, 1925, in Kano!

It was a British Royal Air Force plane flying from Cairo, Egypt, as part of a colonial air route exploration. The aircraft likely a de Havilland DH.9A-stunned locals who had never seen a flying machine before!

This historic landing marked the beginning of aviation in Nigeria, paving the way for airports, air travel, and the nation's future in global aviation.
