The debonair Soname is an orthodox businessman, a diehard proponent of sports, and a man who pursues the growth and development of his roots and the welfare of the common man. This Nigerian gaming tycoon and chairman of Bet9ja has commence in full scale commercial operation of his airline with the acquisition and delivery of the first two aircraft purchased under his recently launched airline company, ValueJet, as part of a move to begin regional flights after all necessary processes are completed.
