Outgoing Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has unveiled the much-talked-about Nigeria Air airline by taking delivery of a Boeing 737-800 ET-AL in its fleet.

The minister, while unveiling the project at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) Abuja on Friday evening, stated that there was no sentiments to the it, adding that it’s one infrastructure that has been missing in the general aviation dynamics of the country.

He said: “The airline that is equal to the size of the market, the dynamics of the market of Nigeria, to its geography and the fortunes of the country. Indeed, we do need the kind of infrastructure that we’re having today in the name of Nigeria Air Limited.

“This Nigeria Air Limited, of course, obviously, it’s an entity known to Nigerian laws. There is a partnership between entrepreneurs in Nigeria and the entrepreneurs in Ethiopian Airline Consortium. Consortium is a company belonging to many partners, and it’s very long journey.

“We started in 2016 and it ended up today. There is a history behind all of these. There were challenges down to one for that matter. We didn’t allow them to make us lose focus. We stayed with the eyes on the ball and today we’re here.”

Speaking on the business case, Sirika said that it was envisaged that within the next five years, it will hit the 35 Aircraft mark.

Shell Sees $6bn Oil, Gas Investment Opportunity In Nigeria  Agency Reports  In a move to attract capital to Africa’s top energy producer,  President Bola Tinubu met with Shell’s  Director of Gas and Upstream Operations, Zoe Yujnovich, on Thursday. The meeting resulted in promising developments for Nigeria’s energy sector, with Shell expressing significant investment interest.  President Tinubu’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, announced in a statement that Shell has identified a potential $5 billion investment opportunity in the offshore Bonga North oil project  He added that the company also pledged to invest an additional $1 billion over the next five to 10 years to boost natural gas production for both domestic consumption and exports.  “I am really keen to make that investment as soon as possible,” Ngelale cited Yujnovich as saying.   “We want to continue and build a pipeline of new investments in Nigeria.”  According to Reuters, a Shell spokesperson confirmed the talks with the Nigerian president but declined to provide further details due to the private nature of the discussions.  Nigeria’s oil production has been declining for years due to large-scale theft and sabotage. However, recent months have seen a rebound, primarily driven by offshore production, which is less susceptible to attacks.  President Tinubu pledged to address “all investment-related issues” hindering capital investment in the Nigerian energy sector.  “There is no bottleneck that is too difficult for us to remove in our determined march toward making Nigeria the African haven for large-scale investments,” Tinubu stated.  This news marks a positive development for Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. The potential $5 billion investment in the Bonga North oil project could significantly boost production and generate substantial revenue for the country.   Additionally, the $1 billion investment in natural gas production will contribute to energy security and potentially unlock export opportunities.

“You don’t come in one day to dump 35 aeroplane. You can’t come in one day and start going to London. So, it’s a gradual process. The aeroplane will be coming one after another. And until in the next five years, according to the business case, we achieve the 35 aircraft mark, from there it continues.”

On his part, the chief commercial officer, Ethiopian Airline, Lemma Yadecha Gudeta, while commending the effort of the federal government of Nigeria, assured that the project under the watch of the Ethiopian Airlines would ensure economical development for the country.

Gudeta, however, assured that the Nigeria Air would be a one billion dollars project in five years time, stating: “As far as the initial business plan that we are working on in collaboration with stakeholders in the consortium, Nigerian air will be a 1 billion US dollar company in five years time.”

Meanwhile, reacting to the airline unveiling, a public affairs commentator, David Hundeyin, @DavidHundeyin said “I obtained the video below of the purported “Nigeria Air” 737-800 from a source at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in the Ethiopian capital.

“As you can see when you freeze the frame, the aircraft is clearly registered to @flyethiopian with the registration number ET-APL.

“If you put that registration number into @planespotters, you can clearly see that it is an 11 year-old Boeing 737-800 belonging to @flyethiopian.

“It has also briefly appeared in the colours of @MalawianAirline (@flyethiopian owns 49% of @MalawianAirline).

“When you check @flightradar24, you can see that this aircraft is still in active @flyethiopian service, but after disappearing to Tel-Aviv for 5 days (undergoing repainting), has now resurfaced in Abuja to be fraudulently “commissioned” later today by @hadisirika.

“The questions that @hadisirika needs to answer are:

“What exactly is the nature of the ownership and technical agreement between @flyethiopian and the so-called ‘Nigeria Air’?

“Why did he spend billions of naira on this project to deliver essentially a @flyethiopian subsidiary?”
