After appearing to want to resolve the problems it seems now that the government has decided to hang tough and tell VK to walk. Maybe it was in response to the news of Virgin ATlantic divesting most of its shares in VK, or maybe it precipitated it, but today government spokesmen accused Virgin of attempting to dictate to the government, we aren't going to be pushed around, looking after Nigeria's interests, etc. etc. They are claiming that Yuguda, the aviation minister who signed the agreement with Virgin, was wrong and misguided (when in fact everyone knows he was imply the instrument of Obasanjo's decision to get VN to act as national carrier). I wonder if Mr Yar'Adua and his advisers have really thought this through.
