President Muhammadu Buhari has
disclosed that Nigerians deserve to know why the country lost its former
national carrier, Nigeria Airways.
Buhari said this while receiving
the president of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Dr. Muyiwa
Aliu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday and was contained in a
statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
The president also stated that he
was under tremendous pressure from some prominent Nigerians desirous of
establishing another national carrier for the country.
According to Buhari, “I also
support a national airline for both patriotic and economic reasons.
“We have enough trained citizens,
including pilots and engineers. But Nigerians need to know how we lost the one
we had.”
Buhari further assured of his
administration’s determination to ensure improvement of aviation infrastructure
in the country to aid economic development.
This is as he expressed readiness
to work with regulatory agencies in the aviation sector to make air travel safe
across the country.
