Nigeria’s Fmr Aviation Minister Was Also A Magician, Leaked Documents Show

Sirikka has been accused of spending N85.4 billion on an elusive national carrier he called Nigeria Air. He first unveiled the project in 2018 at an air show in London, promising that the skies would be full of Nigeria’s commercial planes by the end of the year.
