Nigeria Air Fails To Fly 96 Hours To End Of Buhari’s Tenure

The national carrier, Nigeria Air, is yet to begin operations 96 hours to the end of the present administration, Daily Trust reports.

The eight-year tenure of President Muhammadu, which commenced on May 29, 2015, comes to an end on Monday, May 29, 2023.

Hadi Sirika, Minister of Aviation, had insisted that Nigeria Air will fly before the tenure of President Buhari ends.

Sirika spoke while briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by the vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo, last Monday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said all arrangements had been put in place for the take-off of the national carrier.

“Regarding Nigeria Air, yes, we are on course; and by the Grace of God, before President Muhammadu Buhari leaves office, it will fly. We are on course; before May 29, Nigeria Air will fly,” he said.
