Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s ex-special assistant on digital communications, Bashir Ahmad, has said that contrary to public opinion the launch of Nigeria Air was not a fraud.
Ex-Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, controversially launched the airline towards the end of the Buhari administration despite court ruling stopping further action on it by all the parties involved.
Insisting that the Nigeria Air project was not a fraud, Ahmad said via his Twitter page on Tuesday that all necessary documents required to power the airline have been signed by the Aviation Ministry and operational offices opened.

He tweeted; “NigeriaAir is NOT a fraud, the Aviation Ministry has made significant progress towards its realisation.
“Branding unveiled, partnerships and agreements signed, most of the operational certificates issued, and operational offices opened. NigeriaAir will fly to make Nigeria proud.”
The tweet by Ahmad came after the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation described the project as a fraud. The committee also charged the Federal Government to suspend the airline.
