Sirika said during an interaction with newsmen on Monday in Abuja that the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari incorporated Nigeria Air as a private company.
“When we looked at past efforts to drive a national carrier by both the government and private sector, we saw that we need to initiate a different approach that will launch Nigeria into global reckoning.
“The idea was that we should have less of government investment to make it a purely business driven venture that will work effectively and efficiently and achieve world class standard.
