The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), on Thursday ordered the suspension of the Nigeria Air project.
Keyamo gave this directive during a tour of the international airports in Lagos, where he was accompanied by the Managing Director (MD) of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Kabir Yusuf Mohammed.
Keyamo also put on hold all arrangements under his predecessor, Hadi Sirika, to enable proper audit of contracts in the aviation industry.
He has also put a halt to the concession project, saying that he owes it to the federal government (FG) and Nigerians to give an honest assessment.
The recently-appointed minister of aviation further said the suspension will be in place until he briefs President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
