Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, recently shared a photograph of himself alongside an individual he humorously described as the tallest man in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This social media update was posted on Mr. Keyamo’s Instagram account on a Tuesday.
While the minister did not reveal the gentleman’s identity, he did provide an intriguing detail β this remarkable individual boasts an impressive height of seven feet and five inches.
βAfter my official engagements today and after seeing off Mr. President to the airport, I met the tallest man in the UAE and the third tallest in the World by Guinness Book of Records. He stands at 226 centimetres (seven feet and five inches) tall. He is a doorman at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi and he is 59. Just to compare, I stand at 6 feet 2 inches,β he wrote.
On Monday, Tinubu successfully negotiated a deal with the President of the UAE, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during their meeting in Abu Dhabi. This fruitful discussion led to the prompt lifting of the visa ban previously imposed on Nigerian travelers.
Tinubu’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed in an official statement that as a result of this agreement, both Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are now authorized to swiftly resume their flight schedules to and from Nigeria, eliminating any unnecessary delays.
