The Senate Committee on Aviation has criticized the unveiling of the national carrier Nigeria Air saying the project was covered in secrecy.

The Committee member led by Biodun Olujumi expressed their doubts about the unveiling of the national carrier during a meeting with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Emmanuel Meribole, the Interim Managing Director, Nigeria Air, Captain Dapo Olumide as well as heads of aviation agencies.

At the meeting, Olujimi wondered why the immediate past Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika hurriedly unveiled a national carrier on the last day of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, adding that the aircraft used during the unveiling was a legitimate chartered flight from Ethiopian Airlines and after the unveiling, the aircraft went back with their aircraft.

Also, the Chairman of the House Committee on Aviation, Nnolim Nnaji, after meeting stakeholders in the aviation sector who largely denied knowledge of the launch said the launch of Nigeria Air was a fraud.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Aviation said Nigeria Air was only unveiled and not launched.
