Airline Operators of Nigeria , which filed a suit against the establishment of Nigeria Air, against the federal government, has reacted to the prayers of the defendants to move further hearing of the case to Abuja.
Iroro explained that the defendants filed a motion requesting that the case be moved to the Federal Capital Territory, but the court has not heard the case.“The defendants in the case have prayed that the case is moved to Abuja. They have only filed the request, which the court is yet to hear to know whether they will prove that the case being in Lagos is injurious to them. They will have to prove it. We were thinking they would want an accelerated hearing of the case.
On November 19, 2022, AON filed an originating summons against the federal government for the establishment of a new national carrier after the liquidation of Nigeria Airways.
