On September 3, 2025, former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, broke his silence on the stalled Nigeria Air project during an interview on Channels Television's Morning Brief program. Sirika, who has been facing ongoing corruption charges from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) related to aviation contracts, firmly denied allegations that the project was a scam or involved massive fund misappropriation. He described it as a legitimate public-private partnership (PPP) aimed at establishing Nigeria's national carrier.
