common to print plastic ID card as national ID takes years but same plastic ID as bank cards, you walk in and you are issued with one within 30 mins, print paper as passport you suspend your life for months in search of the passport. A system like Nigeria has no business in running a company except you are just been bigoted right now because of the person saying this

Coming from the owner of a private airline, sounds a bit selfish to me. We all know that public owned organisations are more affordable for the masses than private which are more profit oriented. What we should be focusing on is accountability and maintenance, not pumping subsidies into private companies
why don't the govt give him a soft landing then!! And flag his plane !!! National carriers is not working ,
Siriki played a fast one,till today he hasn't accounted for it
Same with refineries
Every sector govt touches ,it seems not to work and you expect us to continue like that??

I don't know y Nigerian always believed in capitalist system of govt, compared to socialist system of govt.. Having national and sub-national Carrier will increased internal generated revenue for federal/state/local govt..And more over increased economic growth/development..

Even America 🇺🇸 doesn't have a National Carrier but flag carriers managed by private individuals.
By qatar,Ethiopia, rwanda,british,uae all havn they doing wonderfully well.inside me i agree we should hav flag bearer bt d truth is Allen doesnt want competition.Also he knows if they were to giv flag bearer, it will only be air peace becos of their very large fleet which he will cash out billions frm.

Till this very moment, the former Minister of Aviation has not been thoroughly investigated over the scam Nigeria Air he played on Nigerians.

His successor, Festus Keyamo, is busy gallivanting at Uvwie LGA using the FG Aviation Twitter handle to create content....


Honestly, one begin to wonder whether he is the aviation minister or a content creator

Many people don't use their brain in this country that is why we have the wrong people ruling us.Many guys in politics have no business being in politics,It has been hijacked.How can one compare saudi arabia,UAE with nigeria this country are far richer than use comparing their resources to their population.They even look for where to invest their money and you are comparing them with broke nigeria.

COMPAQ:


british Airways isn't owned by the government. Go check. The Arabs have a certain level of discipline we dont have. Besides its possible those airlines are loss leaders to facilitate tourism. We cant compete with the riches of the arab world unfortunately.

And before you say isn't it the same oil, check Saudi or UAE or Kuwait oil production relative to their population and check our own. Our population is like 4 times those 3 nations combined, but we produce 1.3mln barrels, while Saudi does 9mln barrels. Then add on top that they have used theirs better over along term.

I'm always amazed when I see someone claiming someone else wrote or said something and you go over the piece and realise such never happened.

Where do you guys come from? Is it a case of fabrication or did you just read what was never there?

To add insult to injury, Etihad airline is no longer owned by the government. So what's your point?

Onyeama is 100% correct.

Almost all the major airlines in the world are owned by private corporations.

Civil servants are not fit to run profitable businesses and that's why almost all highly profitable govt owned businesses are run by individuals poached from the private sector.

Those airlines running profitably and yet owned by governments have a strategic reason why the govt is running it.

And they don't depend on career civil servants to run them.

If not because of the inefficiency in govt owned businesses, he wouldn't have a point to make. Govt can enter into public-private partnership to guarantee efficiency in the running of the national carrier. The owner of Peace Airline will want to protect his own business as any effort by the govt to start it's own airline operations will be a big threat to him.

Bruv see ideally government has no business running any commercial entity. ARAMCO is a joint business venture between Saudi and the US so please strike it out, and as for UAE their corporate governance structure is so strong that these companies are run like private business entities.

Etihad Aviation Group is headquartered in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi. Formerly government owned, Abu Dhabi's Supreme Council for Financial and Economic Affairs transferred full ownership of Etihad Aviation Group to ADQ .

Even the Emirates, Etisalat, ARAMCO are all run by intelligent people not minsters .

God bless you o!
I was stunned at the other comments I read here.
Why should the government stay away?
This Nigeria will end up having nothing other than oil, not even any refinery.

On the flipside, I would only agree because Nigeria can't do any business successfully. The brains that should power the nation and drive her progress are leaving the nation everyday.

Any new national airline will suffer the fate of Nigeria Airways. Government officials will dash free first class tickets to their wives and concubines. The Pilot will be sacked if he takes off without waiting for HIS EXCELENCY to check in. Employment will be based on quota system and nepotism.

Northerners are afraid of restructuring.

That is why they always prefer anything FEDERAL ! FEDERAL !

The north survived on anything FEDERAL.

Allen Onyema should also ask why is the northerners holding on to National grid for electricity.

When each state should be generating its own electricity power.

Until a bold leaders change all this FEDERAL FEDERAL we can not be free from the SUPER GLUE !

The same way states are still surviving on Feeding bottle federal allocation whereas states are supposed to be the driving force for internal generated revenue.

What is Warri, Koko, Burutu, Onne, Akwa Ibom, Calabar doing with their seaport.

Nothing.

They can not privatised the seaport just because the federal government policies is against it.


NIGERIA JOURNEY TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT WILL TAKES YEARS TO COME.

unless drastic change is brought to take effect.
