The process of setting up Nigeria Air (NWB, Lagos) will remain suspended indefinitely as it was never a genuine Nigerian project and just Ethiopian Airlines trying to fly the Nigerian flag, according to Nigerian aviation minister Festus Keyamo. "It was not Air Nigeria [sic]. It was never Air Nigeria. Air Nigeria will be indigenous for the whole of Nigeria and for the full benefit of Nigeria, not with 60% of the profits going to another country. Nigeria Air was proposed by the previous administration under former president Muhammadu Buhari and former aviation minister Hadi Sirika.
