WED JAN 08 2025-theGBJournal| The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Ibrahim Abubakar Kana has debunked claims that he suggested he has the 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,” The Permanent Secretary said in a statement today, as sought to rest the suggestions.
”On a personal note, I pledge absolute loyalty to the 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,” he added.
Abubakar Kana, who was on Monday inaugurated as a Permanent Secretary, said he has been inundated with inquiries about his reference to the revival of the National Carrier Project at the hand-over ceremony.
The inquiries necessitated the clarification.
”I hope this clarifies all the ambiguities surrounding my earlier statement on this issue,” he said.
