Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has suspended airports’ concession and national carrier.

Daily Trust reports that both airports concession and national were major projects under the aviation roap implemented by the immediate past istration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

But speaking during a tour of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos, his first tour of the busiest airport in Nigeria since his appointment, Keyamo said the concession and national carrier would be on hold until further notice.

The two projects became controversial following their approval a fee days before the expiration of the former government.

Barely a week to the end of the last istration, the Federal Government announced that it has successfully concessioned the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA), Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The then Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the Minister of Aviation, James Odaudu, stated that the concessioning was approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

He disclosed that the Corporacion American Airport Consortium emerged as the preferred bidder, which comprises the Corporation American Airports, Mota Engil Africa, and Mota Engil Nigeria.

Furthermore, the Corporacion American Airport Consortium will make upfront payments of $7 million for NAIA and $1.5 million for MAKIA.

Also, Nigeria Air was equally mired in controversy following what was said to be a shadow launch on May 26, just 72 hours to the end of the istration.

The launch came as a shock to many observers and players in the sector as the airline christened Nigeria Air was yet to receive the Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) to commence commercial operation.

At the time of the controversial launch, the order of the Federal High Court in Lagos stopping the take-off of the national carrier following a suit filed by the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) was and is still subsisting.

The minister also disclosed that the old terminal of the airport would be shut on October 1 for total repair.

He directed foreign airlines to relocate to the new terminal latest by October 1 when the old terminal would be shut down for total rehabilitation.

Somersaulters and backlifters....lol

That was Sirika's chop money era.

Keyamumu needs to come up with his own chopulate agenda.

Isn't it ironic that he served under the same cabinet as the one who designed the Nigeria Air project?

This is the consequence of all the reversals that have been taking place in our land.
Any small thing, we'd reverse.
Now Keyamo wants to move the Aviation ministry forward and the gear doesn't want to enter into 1 again.

But there is hope, we will drive on reverse from Agbor to Shagamu since that is our only way of moving forward.

Because sometimes in life, the only way forward is to move backwards.

Nigerian politicians and scamming its citizens are like siamese twins.

hahahaha

Now i know why Oshiomole used the phrase " BAD BEHAVIOR'' to describe the immediate past Government of Buhari.
It was really difficult for them to call Buhari to order due to the influence of the ASO-ROCK cabal. 72 hrs to the expiration of an outgoing regime....was used to do a job that was not done in 7+years. Where that SERIKA even dey now self?

... So, the Nigeria Air scam just died like that? No arrest nothing.

This one would still loot his own

Good one
