Public policy analyst and social commentator, Okonzuwa Osawaru, has called for a restoration of civility and public etiquette, stressing that disruptive behaviour in public spaces, especially in sensitive sectors like aviation, should not be tolerated.
Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief in reaction to the recent incidents aboard Ibom Air and the controversy involving Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, Osawaru said aviation safety is a delicate matter and “not the kind of place to go and engage in prohibited conduct.”
“We have to learn to be civil and be polite and courteous,” he said on Wednesday, commending the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development for taking swift action on the incidents.

Osawaru noted that it was important for those not involved to understand that such misconduct would not be condoned in the future.
He underscored the importance of re-learning public etiquette, starting from schools, to lay the right foundation for societal conduct.
“The law is already there. It is just the implementation and how it is going to be done evenly. So the minister has done well,” he added.
Addressing the public interface between airline crew and passengers, he said most of the problems could not be solved overnight and would require a detailed study. He emphasised that disruptive behaviour in any public space must be addressed firmly to maintain order.
