Kana explained that his remarks referred to a vision for reviving a national carrier only if it would be beneficial to the nation. He emphasized that no specific directive had been given to resurrect the stalled Nigeria Air project involving Ethiopian Airlines.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Kana reaffirmed his commitment to implementing the aviation policies of President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo.
“Since my inaugural statement on Monday at the handover ceremony, I have received numerous inquiries about my reference to the revival of the National Carrier Project,” Kana said. “For clarity, I never stated that there is a mandate to revive the failed Nigeria Air deal with Ethiopian Airlines. I was only referencing the administration’s broader vision to consider a National Carrier Project if it aligns with the country’s best interests and under the directives of Mr. President and the Honourable Minister of Aviation.”
He assured the public that the ministry is fully committed to advancing Nigeria’s aviation sector to new heights.
“On a personal note, I pledge absolute loyalty to the Honourable Minister and remain dedicated to collaborating closely with him to advance the ministry’s agenda. Together, we will work towards a brighter, innovative future for Nigeria’s aviation industry that reflects the aspirations of our great nation,” Kana added.
