Keyamo Reveals EFCC is Investigating Nigeria Air Deal

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC is investigating the controversial Nigeria Air deal sealed by the Federal Government during the tenure of ex-Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, revealed that there is a criminal investigation going on.

Keyamo also said no local airline would be designated as national airline, adding that a proper national carrier will be established.

Last August, shortly after he was sworn in as minister, Keyamo faulted the deal by Sirika and suspended the whole arrangement which was hurriedly unveiled days before the end of the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, to enable proper audit of contracts.

Nigeria’s Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Aviation had both labelled the launch of the Nigeria Air as a fraud
