The contentious Nigeria Air agreement, which was finalized by former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, is being looked into by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“The EFCC is investigating that deal, there is a criminal investigation going on. I have called for the report,” he said.

On the final day of the Buhari administration in May, the then-interim Managing Director of Nigeria Air,  Capt. Dapo Olumide, had stated that the aircraft used to unveil the nation’s national career was a legally chartered flight from Ethiopian Airlines.
