Reps directs NCAA to return N255m bulletproof cars purchased for former Aviation Minister Ms Stella Oduah



The House of Representatives has mandated the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), to return the controversial bulletproof cars purchased for the use of former Minister of Aviation Ms Stella Oduah to its suppliers and the money paid for it recovered.The cars were bought for N255m.

House Aviation Committee Chair Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha stated this yesterday during an oversight visit to the NCAA offices in Lagos. The committee probed the deal which went awry and made recommendations to the House.

Onyejeocha said the committee insisted that the NCAA must return the cars to the suppliers because the house was not satisfied with the relationship between the bank that facilitated the purchase of the cars and the aviation agency.

She said should the NCAA fail to return the cars to its suppliers, the committee would be forced to call for a public hearing on the issue.

She said:” Those bulletproof cars should be returned to the suppliers and the money recovered. We will call public hearing on the matter of they fail to return the cars.”

The committee mandated aviation agencies to communicate to it in writing their response to all issues raised before next week to enable it take a position on their activities.
