The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Monday, August 5, declared null and void the sale of Nigeria Air Ltd to Ethiopian Airlines.
Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa in his judgment stopping the sale, ordered that the proposed establishment of a national carrier-Nigeria Air, by the federal government, should not be carried out.
The judge made the order while granting the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs, the Registered Trustees of the Airline Operators of Nigeria, and five others in the aviation industry.
