The first Nigeria Air flight has landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Friday afternoon.
Confirming the arrival of the airplane, Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika via a tweet on Friday said the process had been very tedious, daunting, and difficult path.
“We are here. To Almighty God be all the glory. It has been a very long, tedious, daunting, and difficult path. We thank everyone for the support.
“This, by the will of God, will be for us and generations to come. Ya Allah make it beneficial for our country and humanity,” he wrote
It would be recalled that, In March, Sirika had said the airline will start operations before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“Before the end of this administration, before May 29th, we will fly,” he had said.
