Nigeria has reportedly withdrawn its interest in establishing a national carrier through a partnership with Ethiopia Airlines. The Nigerian government had previously announced plans to revive its national airline, Nigeria Air, in partnership with the Ethiopian carrier. However, according to sources, the deal has been put on hold indefinitely due to undisclosed reasons. 

This unexpected development has raised questions and speculation about the future of Nigeria's aviation sector and the country's plans for a national carrier. Many were looking forward to the partnership with Ethiopia Airlines as a way to boost Nigeria's aviation industry and enhance connectivity both domestically and internationally.

With Nigeria now backing out of the partnership, stakeholders in the aviation sector are left wondering about the government's next steps and whether there are alternative plans in place to establish a national carrier. The decision to withdraw from the partnership with Ethiopia Airlines has come as a surprise to many, as it was seen as a significant step towards revitalizing Nigeria's aviation industry and improving its competitiveness on the global stage.

The uncertainty surrounding the future of Nigeria Air and the lack of clarity on the reasons behind the withdrawal have left many in the aviation industry concerned about the impact on Nigeria's economy and the country's ability to compete with other African nations in the aviation sector. It remains to be seen what the government's next move will be regarding the establishment of a national carrier and how this decision will shape the future of Nigeria's aviation industry.
