The Senate Committee on Aviation has criticised the unveiling of Nigeria Air saying the project was shrouded in secrecy.
The Committee members expressed its misgivings towards the unveiling of the national carrier during a meeting with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Emmanuel Meribole; the Interim Managing Director, Nigeria Air, Capt Dapo Olumide as well as heads of aviation agencies.
At the meeting, the Chairman of the Senate Aviation Committee, Senator Biodun Olujimi wondered why the immediate past Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika hurriedly unveiled a national carrier on the last day of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
He said the aircraft used during the unveiling was a legitimate chartered flight from Ethiopian Airlines and after the unveiling, the aircraft went back with their aircraft.
