In 2017: The FG announced intention to invest $5m in an effort to revive and rebrand the national carier.

July 2018: The FG, in a UK Air Show unveiled the logo and new name "Nigeria Air" for the new national carier.

September 2018: barely 2 months after unveiling, the FG announced suspension of the Nigeria Air project indefinitely. It was later we came to realise that it was suspended so the govt can fully off-set the debt of the defunct Nigeria Airways staff which amounted to about N22.6billion incured since its liquidation in 2003.

October 2018: The FG announced commencement of payment N22.6b withheld benefits of the defunct Nigeria Airways. The FG did not discriminate in the payment. Ahmed, Emeka, Babagana, Chinyere, Wale, Tola everyone was paid.

September 2022: The FG announced Ethiopian Air as the prefered bidder of Nigeria Air alongside 3 Nigerian investors in MRS, NSIF and SAHCO. The Ethiopian Air holds 49% of the shares while Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority share 46% leaving FG with only 5% shareholding. It was also announced then that the National Carier will kick off with Three (3) Boeing 737-800 aircrafts and only 1 is cleared and has arrived before the remaining 2.

April 2023: A Federal High Court in Lagos restrained the DG of NCAA from issuing Air Transport Liscence (ATL) to the Nigeria Air, a case filed by some domestic airlines because Nigeria Air is patnering with a foreign airline not them i guess.

May 26: The first branded Nigeria Air aircraft arrives Abuja 🇳🇬 in style leaving children of hate in agony.

I narrated the journey so Nigerians can appreciate the effort of Buhari and Hadi Sirika in realizing this project despite the stumbling blocks. You can say its rented, painted or whatever but one can never deny the fact that after 20 years, Nigerian Colors 🇳🇬 are flying once again.

Also, UK National Carrier (British Airways) is 100% owned by a Spanish company. The government of Canada only owns 6.4% of Air Canada (National Carrier of Canada). But copy and paste journalist says Ethiopian Airline can own stakes in Nigeria Airways.


God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
