Nigerian Pilot Embarks On Record-breaking Flight From London To Nigeria by scorenews: 8:04pm On Aug 11



Flying an aircraft weighing less than 1,000 kilograms, Captain Odujinrin aims to set a Guinness World Record (GWR) with this 20-hour endurance flight.

In a statement, Captain Odujinrin described his mission as a “record-breaking 20-hour endurance flight from London to Nigeria with a first stop in Kano State inside the smallest and lightest aircraft ever.” The ambitious journey is meticulously planned, with stops at key locations across Nigeria, including Kano – the first state where a plane landed in the country, along with Borno, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Owerri, Warri, Benin, Ogun State, Lagos, and the capital city, Abuja.

The flight, documented as part of a larger project, will culminate in a reception in Abuja, where Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation and the President are expected to welcome Captain Odujinrin.

To prepare for the flight, Captain Odujinrin underwent a rigorous preparation process, including a weight loss journey of over 20 kilograms to optimize the aircraft’s aerodynamic efficiency.

On March 29, 2017, he completed his “One Man, One Plane” expedition, becoming the first African and the ninth British pilot to fly solo around the world.
