President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that he is under serious pressure from Nigerians, to establish a National Airline.
This came as Nigeria prepares to host the International Civil Aviation Organisation, ICAO, in Abuja, soon.
Buhari told his guests, made up of the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, among others, that he is under pressure.
“I am under serious pressure from many patriotic Nigerians, to establish a national carrier.
“I equally 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 before”, Buhari said, referring to the defunct Nigeria Airways.
Buhari declared his total support and commitment to work with regulatory Agencies in the Aviation sector, to make air travel safer throughout the country.
According to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President, who received three awards recently won by Nigeria from the ICAO, expressed delight with the high ranking accorded Nigeria in safety and security at the nation’s Airports, following measures put in place to address gaps in Airport security.
The statement further stated that Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika, who led the ICAO delegation, informed Buhari that Nigeria was hosting the meeting of International World Aviation Forum, in Abuja; adding that, it was the first time such a Conference would hold anywhere outside Montreal, Canada.
He said over 40 Aviation Ministers and representatives from 70 countries, World Bank, African Development Bank, Manufacturers of Aircraft and Aviation Equipment, will attend this year’s Conference, focusing on “Financing Development of Aviation Infrastructure.”
