The unveiling of Nigeria Air, the supposed national carrier, has sparked controversy with no resolution in sight. On May 26, 2023, a program to unveil Nigeria Air was organized by the ministry under Sirika’s supervision. Despite the preceding backlash regarding the use of an Ethiopian Airlines plane for the unveiling, Sirika was pleased that the Federal Government had followed through on the project. An invitation letter issued by the ministry invites guests to the “official unveiling of Nigeria Air,” with the venue listed as the Nigeria Air Operations Control Centre at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Several aviation stakeholders that spoke with Daily Trust confirmed that they received invitations from the ministry, further clouding the narrative surrounding Nigeria Air’s unveiling.
