The house of Representatives committee on aviation yesterday declared the launch of Nigeria Air by the immediate past administration as a fraud. Chairman of the committee, Hon. Nnolim Nnaji, made the declaration at a meeting with officials of the ministry of aviation and the interim management of the national carrier and the heads of the avaition agencies at the National Assembly.

Acareful review of the process indicates the exercise to be highly opaque, shrouded in secrecy, shoddy and capable of rediculing and tarnishing the image of Nigeria before inter5national community, He said.
