Nigerians should stop expecting civil servants and polictians to efficiently run airlines, refineries, electricity companies etc Only the private sector can run businesses efficiently, especially when there is full deregulation and competition. This is especially true in a country as corrupt as Nigeria.

OBJ, the PDP messiah grounded the company. Ditto with NITEL and other several national assets.

$16 Billion dollars power investment. Where is the power? PDP and their supporters are evil.

I totally disagree... It was the military government that crushed Nigerian Airways and especially Nitel...
In Obasanjo's time these establishments were already dead and there was little that could be done due to the accrued massive debts.

It's true Obasanjo should have done better in trying to revive them however it was not his government that delivered the death wounds

Do you know the debts that were strangling them before they finally packed up
In 1997 Nigerian Airways was hanging on by threads.

Because you flew them in Bola Ige's time does not mean all was well... look, if you want a thorough Analysis of the dissolution of Nigerian Airways, it literally crashed in 1995.

To be precise, it was in Buhari's time as a military president that Nigerian Airways started nose diving; between 1984/85 When debts started to rise and safety standards were reduced in a bid to cut costs, more and more of the fleet started getting impounded in Europe and other Countries which drastically reduced the fleet size.
This was followed by an IATA suspension in Babangida's time(1987), which stopped the airlines from plying IATA destinations. Ofcourse with the rising debts and reduced operations to profitable zones, they started downsizing and cutting routes/destinations until they reached a breaking point in 1994.

The only thing Obasanjo's administration didn't do, was try hard to revive it, but it crashed 4 years before the civilian takeover in 1999.

What was operating in the early 2000's was just the corpse of the Nigerian Airways, privatisation attempts were just futile because it was a dead venture.

These things were run under military dictatorships, hence the lack of accountability that undergirded their activities.

It is no surprise they floundered.

The NEW national airline being established is a PPP (Public Private Partnership) and there is far more planning and due diligence being put into it, hence the time it is taking to establish. Better late than flawed.

To be honest, we don't actually a NEED govt-run and funded ''national airline''.

Most nations, including the USA and UK don't have it. Their main private airlines are their flag carriers.

Nigeria has Green Africa Airways, Arik, Air Peace, etc doing good international routes and expanding.

The airline WAS a sinking hole financially just the way nnpc is indebted in billions of naira annually only to produce ZERO petroleum products. I think it was wise decision to liquidate the airline
