Infighting Threatens Planned National Carrier

Nigeria’s hope of having a new national carrier anytime soon may be dashed as LEADERSHIP Weekend investigations have shown that internal scuffle between the planning team is threatening the whole process.

It was gathered that there is no clear-cut decision on whether or not to establish a national carrier at the moment.

Findings show that since last year, the minister of state for aviation had always said the “national carrier will commence soon,” however, some experts’ projections show that the commencement of the national carrier will take time since there are no aircraft and no personnel on ground for the commencement of the national carrier.

However, while speaking with LEADERSHIP Weekend, a worker at the ministry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said in as much as there are plans to kick-start the national carrier, internal scuffle on the basis of appointment is threatening to delay the project.
