The embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, has been linked to another car purchase scandal.
This time, Oduah is said to have also approved the procurement of two Lexus Limousine cars and two Toyota Prado jeeps.
The minister is expected to appear
before the House Committee on Aviation which is investigating the
purchase of two BMW bulletproof cars for her by the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority at N255m.
But during the sitting by the Senate
Committee on Aviation which is probing the crisis in the Aviation
industry, the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria , Mr. George Uriesi, said the Lexus Limousine cars and Toyota
Prado jeeps were in the custody of a bank.
Uriesi, who said the limousines were
bought for N60m each , added that he did not have details of the cost
of the Prado jeeps.
He explained that the bank whose name he did not give, funded the purchase of the four vehicles.
