The minister recalled that it was the sixth time the matter was brought before the cabinet for consideration.

According to him, the federal government will acquire only five per cent equity in the airline while other Nigerians will get 46 per cent.

He disclosed further that strategic partners including foreign airlines will be identified to take up the remaining 49 per cent equity.

Sirika added that the national carrier, when operational, will create about 70,000 jobs for Nigerians.
