Latest news on nigeria airways
Nigeria Airways was a national carrier of Nigeria that operated from 1958 to 2003. However, the airline ceased operations in 2003 due to financial difficulties and was liquidated. Since then, there have been several attempts to revive the airline, but none have been successful.
In recent years, there have been reports of plans to revive Nigeria Airways, but these plans have not yet come to fruition. In 2020, the Nigerian government announced plans to revive the airline, but the project has been delayed due to various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are some of the latest news and updates on Nigeria Airways:
- In October 2020, the Nigerian government announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a private company, Green Africa Airways, to revive Nigeria Airways. The MoU was signed by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, and the CEO of Green Africa Airways, Babawande Afolabi.
