On Friday, May 26, a Nigeria Air plane touched down at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
The plane took off from Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, and landed in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Nigeria Air plane was parked at an airport with other planes, one of which was painted in the Ethiopian flag colors.
Two days ago, it was reported how the promise that the national carrier would fly before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure had not been kept.
Responding to the allegation, Hadi Sirika, Minister of Aviation, claimed that Nigeria Air would fly before Buhari’s tenure ends.
Speaking in a Channels Television interview, Sirika had said, “On the question of Nigeria Air, on Friday in two days, Nigeria Air plane will land in Nigeria as part of the processes to commence operation. We will on that day unveil this aircraft, the livery and everything in Nigeria’s colours, belong to Nigeria Air and we will proceed to go and do the retrofit and bring back those airplanes.”
