It would be recalled that the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirki, had previously assured Nigerians of transparency in the process of concessioning the airports.

“We will ensure that Nigerians are given priority in getting jobs in the aviation sector. We will give adequate time for the airlines to prepare themselves but for sure, we will ensure that it happens soonest,” Sirika had said.
