It says it currently receiving proposals from several international carriers that want partner government on this move. The proposed structure will see government own just 10 percent with the remaining taken up by the international carrier.
Transport Minister Fifi Kwetey tells JOYBUSINESS, government has no of being a majority stakeholder in the new carrier but rather a carried interest.
