I meant avoiding the West in business terms.
Invest at home.
Even if your country sanctions you, there is every possibility the next ruler ship with have a different view and lift those sanctions.

FreeStuffsNG:
In the next few days or weeks, we will eventually know the successful bidder.

The national carrier should not run on the model of the defunct Nigeria Airways.

God bless Nigeria forever.

Contrary to reports of Qatar Airways being a favored bidder, the Federal Ministry of Aviation has stated that it has yet to choose an airline, either internally or from abroad, to run the new flag carrier.

Certain reports have hinted that Qatar Airways could be set to run the new carrier as a core investor. However, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Aviation clarified that this was not the case in a statement released yesterday. Indeed, the government isn't far enough down the line to have chosen a preferred bidder. According to Leadership News, the ministry's Director of Public Affairs, James Odaudu, stated:

"For some time now, the name Qatar Airways has been coming up as the core investor of the airline in media reports, but we wish to state that no preferred bidder has been selected for the national carrier, Nigeria Air. (...) No corporate entity or individual has been appointed or selected, or even preferred for the project as the process for selection has just started with the Request for Proposal."

In its statement, the ministry also looked to emphasize its "unalloyed commitment to transparency and accountability [until] the end of the process." The Nigerian government ultimately hopes to provide its people with a worthy new national airline, regardless of who runs and invests in it. Odaudu added that:
"Our driving force is the commitment of the Buhari administration to bequeath to the country a national carrier that Nigerians would be proud of. Our determination and commitment to it remain stoic."

Here comes some nitwit American owner who simultaneously owns Charlotte bobcats or New York nets claiming he's been a football fan since the age of 4 and is looking forward to growing the "franchise"

Odunayow:
He also cannot lead the line alone. Dilemma

Ibime:
I knew that guy would get picked up if he was patient enough

serious wahala.

And funny how they don't see that its gonna be a problem for them on the long run.

If you can just take away someone's hard earned investment just because of their ties with their president. (not because they are elchapo or using their investment to store hard drugs) who is then safe from politics of emotion? which billionaire doesn't have tie with the president or seek political favor?


If the Chinese/Asians and Russians are rushing to you economy to invest because of some uncertainty with their own economy and then you cannot guarantee their business is safe. What's the point of wasting their money then?

donjazet:
In the US, is it the president's power or congress to sanction businesses?

Nonpartisan1:
Section 84(10) specifically mandated govt appointees to resign their positions 3months before the primaries of their political parties, if they are interested in being a delegate or being voted for.

In addition to more lightings, I still believe a decorative hanging ceilings (with cultural motifs like ATILIOGWU DANCERS) would befit the airport and make it a compact boutique airport. Check out the new but ongoing Kumasi International Airport in Ghana.
From what I have seen so far, the airport development will be an ongoing thing. The next should be hotels WITHIN the Airport ground for those who want to plan best way to get into town considering security. Then Cargo terminal and when International flights commence, we start building an International terminal. Regarding International terminal, if we can't lay hand on world class design on a small scale, we can meet Amaechi (Transport Minister) to help us with a design. Amaechi did well with train terminals which beat any of our airports so he will have a better Airport designs.

Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, says the federal government will issue Requests-for-Proposal for the establishment of Nigeria Air next week.

A request for proposal is the process of requesting the bids to evaluate the feasibility, financial health and bidders’ abilities to undertake a specific project.

Sirika disclosed this to journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.

Sirika said the government would issue requests for proposals to intending investors on March 8, 2022.

“The transaction adviser is going to request for proposal next week Monday. The government will own five percent, Nigerians will own 46 percent, and the international partners’ airlines will take 49 percent shares,” he said.

“We will give them some weeks to respond to the request, then we will announce the winning bidder.

“However, in the interim, because the government intends to own only five percent of the airline shares, we are going to go ahead with the AOC (Air Operator Certificate), which has commenced since.

I believe that by April, we should be able to have our AOC ready, which means, we are ready to start. And once the AOC is in our hands, the offices are secured, the interim board is being constituted, and when they finish signing the contract, we will announce who they are.”

Sirika further added that the bidders are temporarily called interim board members and should take over latest by July.

“Currently, they are called interim because they will hold the airline on an interim basis up to the time the investors will come and take over.”

“They are noble people, some are Nigerians, some are not. I think there are about nine of them running the airline and they will begin operations between now and July.

“Within the period, Nigeria Air would run Lagos and Abuja, and as the situation demands, they may extend to Port Harcourt and other parts of the country.”

The minister added that the concession of four major international airport terminals would be completed in the second quarter.
