The Interim Managing Director of Nigeria Air, Captain Dapo Olumide, is saying that the aircraft used to unveil the country’s national career was a legitimate chartered flight from Ethiopian Airlines.
Olumide revealed this before the Senate Committee on Aviation saying, the aircraft returned to Ethiopian Airlines after the unveiling.
The Committee members expressed their misgivings towards the unveiling of the national carrier during a meeting with Olumide; the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Emmanuel Meribole; as well as heads of aviation agencies.
The Chairman of the Senate Aviation Committee, Senator Biodun Olujimi wonders why the immediate past Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika hurriedly unveiled a national carrier on the last day of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Chairman of the House Committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji, says the launch of Nigeria Air is a fraud.
