No Mandate To Revive Deal With Ethiopian Airlines On Nigeria Air – Federal Gov’t

The newly appointed permanent secretary of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Dr. Ibrahim Kana, has clarified that there was no mandate to revive the controversial ‘Nigeria Air’ deal with Ethiopian Airlines.

Dr. Kana made the clarification in a statement following the rumours making the rounds that federal government may have decided to revive the deal between Nigerian Air and Ethiopian Airlines.

Recall that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State in 2024 nullified the sale of 49 per cent equity stake in Nigeria Air to Ethiopian Airlines.

Kana, while addressing concerns regarding the revival of the National Carrier project, emphasised that future considerations for a national carrier will depend on favourable conditions and presidential guidance.

He pledged loyalty to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and expressed commitment to enhancing Nigeria’s aviation sector through teamwork and innovation, aiming for a bright future reflective of national aspirations.

According to him, “It is with great honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I address you today. As we chart the course for the continued growth and development of Nigeria’s aviation and aerospace sector.

“Since my inaugural statement on Monday at the hand-over ceremony, I have been inundated with inquiries about my reference to the revival of the National Carrier Project.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I never said that there is a mandate to revive the botched Nigeria Air deal with Ethiopian airline. I received no such instruction. I was only referring to the general vision of the administration to still consider a national carrier project if it is favourable to the country and under the guidance and directives of Mr. President and the honourable minister of aviation. I hope this clarifies all the ambiguities surrounding my earlier statement on this issue.

“On a personal note, I pledge absolute loyalty to the honourable minister and remain dedicated to working closely with him to drive the ministry’s agenda forward. Together, we will ensure that the future of aviation in Nigeria is bright, innovative, and reflective of the aspirations of our great nation.”
