The Dana Group has urged the general public to ignore two malicious broadcast messages circulating on the social media asking them not to patronise Dana Air and not to buy a "Dana "branded rice that allegedly arrived the country from Pakistan.
Mr Kingsley Ezenwa, Communications Manager, Dana Air, gave the advice in a statement issued on Monday in Lagos.
Ezenwa said : "We would ordinarily not want to dignify the perpetrators and their paymasters with a response. However, we felt the need to unearth their puerile, senseless and deliberate act of peddling two false broadcast messages about a single brand in one day.
" It is either their pay master is so clueless to have advised them to circulate both messages in one day or the perpetrators decided to be overzealous
"For the records, the Dana brand has been in Nigeria for over 45 years contributing positively to the Nigerian economy with quality products in the areas of Aviation, Steel, Manufacturing, Automobile, Banking, Real Estate, Health, and Beverage, just to mention a few."
According to him, the Dana Group being a proudly Nigerian brand committed to the growth of the economy and development of the country stopped the importation of rice in 2015.
He noted this was in line with the desires and commitment of both the outgoing and incoming administrations to grow local capacity for quality rice production in Nigeria.
Ezenwa said Dana Air on its part had been battling and navigating these mischief-makers since inception in 2008, when the airline took the industry by storm by offering pocket-friendly fares, on-time departures, world-class in-flight service and above all, safe and reliable air transport.
"The peddlers of this baseless broadcast message have also refused to come to terms with Dana Air’s towering status in the industry having flown over 2.7 million passengers in the last nine years of its operation and have survive even the worst operational challenges in the industry.
"We, therefore wish to reassure our teeming guests that their safety and comfort remains top-priority to us at Dana Air and our unwavering adherence to civil aviation regulations and global best practices are the reasons for our latest consecutive international recognitions.
"We advise the perpetrators to desist from this evil act of working at cross-purposes with a conglomerate that has shown massive commitment and contributed immensely to the growth and development of our country," he said.
