I am a 60- year-old business man. Anytime the fan blows on me, I develop cough, chest and body aches. I want to know if this  is Pneumonia and what I can do about it.

Symptoms for pneumonia include a cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills and difficulty breathing including sharp chest pains. The patient can also develop fever, chills, dehydration, fatigue, loss of appetite, malaise, clammy skin, or sweating with fast, shallow breathing, shortness of breath, or wheezing. While you may not have pneumonia, your presentation suggests a chest infection which will need a doctor to sort out for you.

“Absolutely, When we came with the Buhari government in 2015 I became the minister. We were committed to a roadmap to establish a National Carrier, to concession the airports, to set up a leasing company, to establish cargo facilities and we have been doing that.”

On why the Buhari government wanted a national carrier, the minister responded: “Nigeria is situated at the centre of Africa, equidistant from all locations in Africa. 30.4 million square kilometres miles, 1.5 billion people, very green land. If Central and Eastern Africa is the belt of the continent, then Nigeria is the buckle. 200 million people and rising middle class, propensity to fly is high. Nigeria is a candidate for National Carrier.”

Sirika who insisted that the coming national carrier will be private sector driven added; “Private. Yes. 5 per cent government and no government stepping right in that company, no government control, no membership of government on board. Totally private and committed.

“Whatever we say we will do as a government since 2015, it has happened. that is why Tim Clark of Emirates, Qatar Airways and all of them are looking to go into Nigeria in multiple frequencies and multiple landing points because Nigeria is the right place for the airline business.
