House Of Reps Declares Nigeria Air Launch A Fraud

House of Representatives has declared the launch of Nigeria Air by former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika, as a fraud.

Gatekeepers News reports that Chairman of the House Committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji made the declaration on Tuesday after the major stakeholders in the deal between the Federal Government and Ethiopian Airlines denied knowledge of the launch.

The Ministry of Aviation claimed Nigeria Air was only unveiled and not launched, which the committee dismissed as an attempt to divert the lawmakers’ attention.

Members of the committee were shocked when NAMA disclosed that the aircraft bearing Nigerian colours was on a chartered flight to Nigeria.

Other stakeholders who confirmed the disclosure noted that a chartered flight could be painted in any colour and with any inscriptions.
