Plus, candid advice for aspiring aviation pros: come with a game plan, expect zero respect on tough days, and protect your mental health in a role that demands grace amid chaos. Looking ahead, she envisions a safer Nigerian sky through airline-airport partnerships and passengers who ask questions instead of assuming.
