Nigeria Air: Qatar Airways not named preferred bidder, says FG

The Federal Government says it has not selected any preferred bidder for the proposed national carrier, Nigeria Air.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Aviation, James Odaudu, in a statement on Wednesday said it was not true that Qatar Airways had been chosen as the preferred bidder.

“The report, coming just two days after the issuance of a request for proposal which was published in local and international news media, is not only false but capable of discrediting the process for the establishment of the airline, and discouraging interested parties” the statement indicated.

“We wish to state that throughout the process leading to the publication of the request for proposal, the guiding principle, has been transparency and accountability which we promised will remain till the final delivery of the project, and by which we stand,” he said.
