Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development has taken a major decision on the controversial Nigeria Air which occupied the front burner months into the end of Buhari’s administration.
ENigeria Newspaper reports that Festus Keyamo who was sworn in along with 44 other ministers by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted department heads in the Ministry of Aviation, who officially briefed him on the activities of the past administration and afterward, other agencies under the ministry.
Keyamo, the new Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development had in his inaugural speech promised to give all domestic and international airports a face-lift, as well as pay attention to other sundry challenges plaguing the aviation industry.
“There’s no better time to convince doubting Thomases than now, we will give it all it takes to make sure the aviation industry is sanitized.
“With the cooperation of the brilliant and intelligent Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation, Dr. Emmanuel Meribole, the honorable Minister has hit the ground running immediately”, Keyamo said.
