Nigerians Deserve To Know Why Nigeria Airways Failed – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on
Monday said he was under
tremendous pressure from some
prominent Nigerians desirous of
establishing another national
carrier for Nigeria.
He, however, said his position
remained that Nigerians need to
know how the nation lost the
former national carrier, Nigeria
Airways.
According to a statement by his
Senior Special Assistant on Media
and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari
spoke while receiving the president
of the International Civil Aviation
Organisation, Dr Muyiwa Aliu, at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“I also support a national airline for
both patriotic and economic
reasons. We have enough trained
citizens, including pilots and
engineers. But Nigerians need to
know how we lost the one we had,”
Buhari was quoted to have said.
The President restated his
administration’s determination to
speed up the improvement of
aviation infrastructure in the
country to aid economic
development.
