Hajj: FG
to blacklist Virgin Nigeria
For defaulting in the transportation of pilgrims back to Nigeria
after this year's Hajj in Saudi Arabia, Virgin Nigeria`s airline
might never be considered for such jobs in future.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Abubakar Tanko, who
stated this in Abuja yesterday, said that blacklisting the
airline was just one of the sanctions against it for
disappointing the nation.
``The federal government is no longer prepared to tolerate any
embarrassing misbehaviour from any one in the Hajj exercise,''
he said.
