Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has reacted to the suspension
of the national carrier project, Nigeria Air by the federal
government.

disclosure while addressing newsmen.

According to Sirika, the decision to suspend the procurement of
Nigeria Air, was taken at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

Reacting, Tambuwal in a post on his Twitter page, queried the
Buhari-led government for wasting money worth N1.5bn belonging to tax
payers on the suspended Nigeria Air.

Nigeria Air now suspended.

undertake so as to stop wastage of scarce resources.
