December 22, (THEWILL) – The House of Representatives has adopted a resolution to conduct a fresh investigation into the failed National Carrier Project, ‘Nigeria Air’. “The House also notes that the former Minister of Aviation approached Ethiopian Airlines a few days before the handover to provide an aircraft that could be made available to Nigerians as an aircraft belonging to Nigeria Air and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had issued an Air Transport License to Nigeria Air, that was the name for the proposed National Carrier. To this end, the House urged the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Ministries of Budget, National Planning and Finance to furnish the House with data and financial resources on the national air carrier project. Meanwhile, the House has mandated all the relevant Standing Committees on Aviation to invite the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo (SAN), to give an account of the National Carrier Project. The House also mandated the Committee to invite the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to brief the Committee about the Nigeria Air Carrier Project and its certifications as applied to the National Air Carrier.
