Recall that Emirates suspended flight operations to Nigeria in 2022 over its inability to repatriate its revenue in US dollars trapped in the country but the federal government, through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had released bulk of the trapped funds thereby paving the way for the return of the airlines.
