Branson, who arrived on Wednesday from London with his parents -Ted and Eve for a meeting with Virgin Nigeria\'s Chairman, Mr. Felix Ohiwerei, on final preparations to get the airline fully operational, said that sceptics would be shamed by the efficiency and profitability of Virgin Nigeria.
Branson also said that he would invest in the telecommunications sector and might pump some money into Vmobile for its expansion.
He said that the airline would make its debut with nine brand new planes.
Virgin Nigeria, a replacement of defunct state-owned Nigeria Airways is owned by the Nigerian government and Branson with his airline, Virgin Atlantic as core investor.
