Poor Experience With Aero Contractors And Owerri Airport

Aero has been running a promo. N10,000 naira to any destination in Nigeria. I booked a round trip for my wife and myself to Owerri from Lagos. The flight attendants and crew were very pleasant. As the plane was about to I showed my wife our online booking and she noticed that the return date was wrong. The flight attendants told us to ask for the station manager one IG who should help us take care of it. When we landed we went to the ticket counter.

You turn on lights, plug in lamps and power appliances the same way you do right now. In fact, if you didn’t see solar modules on the roof, you’d never notice any difference—except a lower electric bill. While the science of converting sunshine into electricity is complex, the idea is pretty simple. Solar electricity is generated by a group of solar modules called an array that’s installed on your roof or in your yard. When sunlight falls on the solar modules, a DC electrical current is created instantly.
