Nigerians have vented their anger on the Federal Government over the suspension of the Nigeria Air project.

The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, had relayed the suspension of the project in a tweet via his Twitter handle @hadisirika around 5:41pm yesterday without providing a reason for the suspension.

His tweet reads: “I regret to announce that the Federal Executive Council has taken the tough decision to suspend the National Carrier Project in the interim. All commitments due will be honoured. We thank the public for the support as always.”

 

However, many Nigerians who responded to the tweet demanded to know the reason for the suspension even as some of them said they were vindicated that the foundation of the project was faulty in the first instance.

As at 12:30pm today, the Minister’s tweet had garnered 1, 657 retweets, over 1,535 likes and over 1,100 reactions from Nigerians home and abroad.

Below are some of the reactions from Nigerians:
