No local airline will be Nigeria’s national carrier

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has announced that no local airline will be designated as the Nigerian national carrier, as doing so would be unfair to other local airlines.
Speaking during an interview on Wednesday.
Keyamo revealed his ministry’s plan to establish a proper national carrier instead of promoting a local airline to be a flag carrier .
While wondering why his predecessors in the office considered the option in the first place, Keyamo revealed he is already in talk with Arabs, Chinese, and the Americans who indicated interest.
During the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, had introduced Nigeria Air as the country’s national carrier, stirring controversies
