The Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Dr Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, mni, has refuted a report credited to him about plans to revive the botched Nigeria Air Deal with Ethiopian Airline.
Kana, who addressed the press on the matter on Wednesday January 8, pledged his loyalty to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo, saying that he will work with the Minister to ensure that the future of aviation in Nigeria is bright.
“It is with great honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I address you today. As we chart the course for the continued growth and development of Nigeria’s aviation and aerospace sector.
“Since my inaugural  statement  on Monday at the hand-over ceremony, I have been inundated with inquiries about my reference to the revival of the National Carrier Project.
“For the avoidance of doubt I never said that there is a mandate to revive the botched Nigeria Air deal with Ethiopian airline. I received no such instruction.
“I was only referring to the general vision of the Administration to still consider a National Carrier Project if it is favourable to the country and under the guidance and directives of Mr. President and the Honourable Minister of Aviation. I hope this clarifies all the ambiguities surrounding my earlier statement on this issue.
“On a personal note, I pledge absolute loyalty to the Honourable Minister and remain dedicated to working closely with him to drive the Ministry’s agenda forward.
“Together, we will ensure that the future of aviation in Nigeria is bright, innovative, and reflective of the aspirations of our great nation.
“Thank you, and may we continue to soar to greater heights,” he said.
