“However, due to the immediate recruitment requirements for the above operational positions only, we ask that CVs be sent to the following email address: [email protected],” the memo read.

Nigeria Air is the nation’s proposed national carrier which was unveiled at the Farnborough Air Show in England on July 18, 2018.

The project was suspended two months after it was announced after critics raised concerns over its relevance and sustainability. The proposed airline was expected to gulp $8.8 million preliminary cost and $300 million as takeoff cost.

Nigeria’s defunct carrier, Nigeria Airways, collapsed due to corruption and poor management but the new airline will be owned by a private Nigerian consortium, Ethiopian Airlines and the federal government.
