Reactions trail suspension of National Carrier, Nigeria Air

Nigerians have reacted to the suspension of the national carrier project, Nigeria Air by the Federal government.

Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, on Wednesday made the disclosure while addressing newsmen.

According to Sirika, the decision to suspend the procurement of Nigeria Air, was taken at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

The latest decision has stirred divergent reactions from Nigerians online.

Some Nigerians queried the President Muhammadu Buhari led-administration for launching Nigeria Air without proper consultations.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST:

@Joel_Madumere “Hearing of the suspension of the Nigeria Air really left me in tears. People keep dying everyday because of improper infrastructure. Floods have been wiping out people’s livelihood. You’d spend five years in the University only to come out half baked.”

@SmartEmmieJ “The N1.5 Billion that was spent on consultation for Nigeria Air could have been used to purchase weapons and ammunitions for the air force. Buhari Is Not Different From MMM. FRAUD ALERT!!!!

@Naijadailyfeed “I never believed in Nigeria Air from the start, if you ever believed in any project started by Buhari, Just know you have been conned.”

@Retsonbiz “I understand, Nigeria Air suspension is orgasm for those who never believed in PMB. However, It’s a Suspension not a cancellation.

@Shittu10 “Well done, I believe you will deliver on the #AirNigeria project eventually. You delivered the Abuja airport runway complete revamp after 14yrs delay from previous government’s within a record planned time.”

@SuperlitG “The government of Buhari is a YAHOO YAHOO coupled with MMM govt. FG suspended Nigeria Air indefinitely, after spending $600000 in Bahrain to design Nigeria Air logo, they didn’t even launch it Nigeria, FG went to UK, wasted millions of tax payers money to launch Nigeria air.”

@Adaezemonique “Nigeria Air Project has been suspended! This is what happens when you put Jokers on seat. 1.2billion naira has gone into thin air.”

@AdemOlawuyi “Everything about this government is fake, don’t forget NYSC 50k increment, new minimum wage, school feeding scheme, we have decimate terrorist/boko haram, we are fighting corruption, Ajaokuta steel rail is back, 2nd Niger bridge & now is Nigeria Air.”

@Wilfrik “Kindly apologize to Oby Ezekwesili for all the insults BMC and Buharideens hauled at her while predicting this eventual outcome. Her years of experience on government policy exonerated her.”

@UgbakeEguegu “So monies have been wasted yet again; to pay consultants, launch in Dubai, Business and First class travel (up and down) etc. When people such as @obyezeks @afalli warned that this was a futile venture to begin with you people really need to do better. It’s rather unfortunate.”
