Ex-minister Sirika Reveals How Much Was Spent On Nigeria Air

Hadi Sirika, the immediate past Minister of Aviation has reveled how much was spent on the Nigeria Air project.

According to him, less than N3 billion was expended on the project.

Sirika disclosed this on Sunday during an Arise Television interview.

The former minister debunked claims that N85 billion was spent on the Nigeria Air project.

According to him, the claim is baseless and false.

He explained that the bulk of the expended funds were channelled into consultancies, salaries, and administrative costs associated with setting up the national carrier.

The Nigeria Air project has been mired in controversy, as the Senate and House of Representatives have described it as fraud and a gimmick.
