The 4 Limousines & 4 Toyota Tundra Cars Our Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah Uses

According
to Sahara Reporter, Nigeria’s minister of aviation Stella Oduah who is
yet to recover from a N255 million bullet proof BMW scandal has been hit
with yet a similar case.
The new
case revealed that NAMA (Nigeria’s National Airspace Management Agency)
has just bought 4 set of powerful Toyota Tundra vehicles and 4 limousine
car for her.
The big
madam who recently got the delivery of the 2 armoured BMW is on the
verge of losing her job as anti corruption network vows to protest.
The Tundras are in addition to four stretch limousine cars that were allegedly purchased for the movement of VIPs.
Saharareporters
obtained the photos of the Limousines, which were parked at the
headquarters of the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria (TRACON) grounds in
Abuja today.
Efforts to
get the NAMA spokesperson, Supo Atobatele, to comment on the fresh
allegations proved abortive as he claimed he was driving and could not
speak on the wheel. When later confronted with the facts, Mr. Atobatele
denied the existence of the stretch limos claiming that NAMA is a “professional agency”that
provides navigational aid to aircrafts flying within Nigeria’s
airspace. He hung up and switched off his phone when further told that
Saharareporters had the photos.
NAMA’s CEO, Nnamdi Udo, reportedly made the purchase and ‘donation’ of the Tundras to the Minister in June 2013. The four Limousines were received in the third week of June but have never been put to use.
After the
purchase of the two BMW armored cars for the Minister was revealed, her
aides and the Managing Director of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority,
Fola Akinkuotu, claimed the vehicles were meant for VIP movement, but a
former lawmaker and leader of Anti-Corruption Network, Dino Melaye,
told SaharaReporters that it is the duty of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to transport international VIPs in Nigeria.
He also
revealed that the most important Aviation inspectors are teams from the
ICAO who already have a Nigerian office which handles all their
transactions.
SaharaReporters
could not confirm if the NAMA limos are armored. It is also unclear why
NAMA, an agency believed to be cash-strapped, would need stretch limos
that are normally used by celebrities, to ferry international VIPS.
Meanwhile, a
high-level source has confirmed to SaharaReporters that the Total Radar
Coverage of Nigeria, which Mrs. Oduah brags about as one of her
achievements in office, provides epileptic service, because it often
breaks down, the objective of establishing a safer national airspace is
said to have been compromised. Foreign airlines are said to rely on
their built in navigational equipment for air safety within the Nigerian
airspace.
