Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education has opened up on the unveiling of the name and logo of the national carrier…

“I have seen a number of commentaries on this my Tweet. Let me REITERATE it now I fundamentally consider a ‘National Carrier Project’ A WASTE. Before we once again SINK SCARCE PUBLIC RESOURCES into a WRONG-HEADED PRESTIGE project like an airline, I am GLAD to STAND ALONE on this.”

“Those who mischievously CONFLATE wanting a WASTEFUL Public Project to FAIL as being ‘wanting Nigeria to fail’ can carry on. Nothing of what we have publicly read on the National Airline Project shows ANYTHING DIFFERENT from the usual ELEPHANT projects of the past in Nigeria.”
