The sun and the wind

One day the sun and the wind were just talking. The wind boasted “I am stronger than you”. The sun just smiled.

“If you don’t believe me let’s have a competition,” said the wind. The sun reluctantly agreed.

Just then they saw a man wearing a jacket passing by. The wind said, “whoever separates the jacket from the man is stronger”. The sun agreed and asked the wind to try first.

The wind started to blow as hard as he could. The man held his jacket tightly. The wind blew harder and harder. But the stronger the wind blew the tighter the man held onto his jacket. The wind blew until it was exhausted, but couldn’t remove the jacket from the man.

Next, it was the sun’s turn. At first, the sun shone very gently on the man. The man started feeling a bit warm. As the sun went on shining brighter and brighter the man felt warmer and warmer. Finally, he took off his jacket. The sun came out as a clear winner in the challenge.

“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.
