Nigeria’s national carrier, Nigeria Air, will comment operation in April 2022.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, disclosed this Wednesday while briefing State House correspondents after the weekly federal executive council (FEC) meeting.
He said the national carrier will be run by a company in which the Nigerian government will hold a five per cent stake while Nigerian entrepreneurs will hold 46 per cent stake.
The minister added that the remaining 49 percent will be reserved for yet to be assigned strategic equity partners, including foreign investors.
Sirika said the national carrier, when operational, will create about 70,000 jobs for Nigerians.
