Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has reacted after the Federal Government suspended his principal, Muhammadu Buhari’s Nigeria Air project.
Dockaysworld reported that Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo confirmed that the project unveiled by his predecessor, Hadi Sirika before the end of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, remains suspended.
Keyamo said, “It remains suspended. It was never Air Nigeria. It was not Air Nigeria. That’s the truth. It was only painted Nigeria Air. It was Ethiopian Airlines trying to flag our flag.
“If it is so, why not allow our local plane to fly our flag? So nobody should dispute that it was Nigeria Air.
“Air Nigeria must be indigenous, must be wholly Nigerian, and must be for the full benefits of Nigeria, not that 50 per cent of the profit is for another country.”
Reacting to the development, Bashir said he hopes that the project will be revived in the best interest of Nigeria.
He wrote on X formerly Twitter:
“I read that the Federal Government has indefinitely suspended the Nigeria Air project. I do hope that, after thorough review and consideration, the administration will resuscitate the project as it is in the best interest of Nigeria”.
