Less than N3bn spent on Nigeria Air project, says Sirika
Speaking on Arise TV news program in Abuja on Sunday, the ex-minister stated that contrary to speculations, less than N3bn budgetary allocation has been made to Nigerian Air since the inception of the project.
According to Sirika, reports suggesting that the sum of N85bn has been spent on the Nigeria Air project are baseless and false, adding that the bulk of the expended funds has been channelled into consultancies, salaries, and administrative costs associated with setting up the national carrier.
