A former minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has described the National Air project embarked upon by the Federal Government as a waste of resources. She said this in a tweet on Thursday. It will be recalled that the Federal Government of Nigeria on Wednesday announced that the name of the proposed new National Carrier is ‘Nigeria Air’. The Minister of State for Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, disclosed this while unveiling the airline to investors at the ongoing Farnborough International Air Show in UK. Ezekwesili said: “I have seen a number of commentaries on this my Tweet. Let me REITERATE it now I fundamentally consider a “National Carrier Project” A WASTE. Before we once again SINK SCARCE PUBLIC RESOURCES into a WRONG-HEADED PRESTIGE project like an airline, I am GLAD to STAND ALONE on this.” https://twitter.com/obyezeks/status/1019925549932797952]]>
