Federal Govt unveils national carrier, Nigeria Air
The federal government of Nigeria has unveiled the controversial national carrier, Nigeria Air, less than three days before the inauguration of a new administration.
.The national carrier aircraft was unveiled by the Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport premises in Abuja on Friday.
.He said the airline was an investment between entrepreneurs in Nigeria and an Ethiopian consortium.
The minister had hinted in March that the national carrier would commence operation before the swearing-in of a new administration on 29 May.
National Carrier
Nigeria Air, the nation’s proposed national carrier, was unveiled at the Farnborough Air Show in England on 18 July 2018.
The national carrier idea was raised many years after Nigeria’s defunct carrier, Nigeria Airways, collapsed due to corruption and poor management.
