But I must tell you that I have my deepest respect for aviation minister, Dr. Kema Chikwe. She is someone who entered a New World and decided to find out what was happening. She has tried to give the aviation sector a focus. She is building on what I started as aviation minister under IBB and which some people came in there to destroy. Now they ve set up a panel to investigate Nigerian Airways.
Lets see what they come out with.
They talk about bad management of the Nigerian Airways. Government itself was responsible for what happened to t he Nigerian Airways. At the time they bought the aircrafts, the pilots were ready but the engineers were not. They had no facility to maintain such sophisticated aircrafts. The Airways did not decide to sell off F28 model, the government, the Ministry of Transport, did it.
