During a press conference, Mr. Sirika reported to the state house correspondents on the outcome of yesterday's Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
“So today in council, something very significant has happened in the world of civil aviation. Part of our roadmap, the Aviation Leading company has been established and approved by the council,” the minister said.
He noted that entrepreneurs and civil aviation would have access to lease equipment at affordable rates within the country, which was part of a broader plan.
“So the roadmap is gradually coming to 100 per cent completion. So I’m glad to see the full business case has been approved by the SEC,” Mr Sirika said.
At the ongoing second edition of the FAAN National Aviation Conference in Abuja, Mr. Sirika’s permanent secretary affirmed that all aviation roadmap components were at the finishing lines.
“Undoubtedly, we have met with lots of brick walls and bureaucratic bottlenecks, yet we forged ahead decisively and now all the components are at the finishing lines, the foundation having been solidly laid,” he said.
