Enugu Airport: Sahara Reporters' Publication False And Malicious - Stella Oduah by jonhemma11: 4:50pm On Mar 27, 2016
Senator representing Anambra North, Stella Oduah, has debunked reports by online newspaper, Sahara Reporters, linking her to a N86bn contract awarded for the upgrade of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu during her tenure as Minister of Aviation.

The report in part reads:

“The stench of contractual fraud left behind by Senator Stella Oduah during her tenure as Minister of Aviation remains unceasing. Oduah, whose time as a minister under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan was headlined by the dodgy contract of two bullet-proof BMW cars for her use, was elected senator in the last general elections.

“The latest installment of controversy of her legacy as a minister is coming from the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, which was closed down for over two years to allow for its upgrade into a real international airport. To this end, a contract was awarded at the cost of N86billion.‎

“The contractor’s brief was to scrape off the original 2.6km runway that and construct an entirely new one. However, what was done the dressing of its surface and the addition of a new one-kilometer stretch to make it 3.6km. But even the new one was shoddily built, making it unable to meet the standard specifications for runway construction.”

However, in a statement signed by her New Media aide, Abang Veronica, Oduah held that the publication was malicious, false and devoid of journalistic integrity.

“A malicious and completely false publication by Sahara Reporters about a contract awarded at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport during Princess Stella Oduah’s tenure as the Aviation Minister, has been brought to the attention of her media team.

“The Senator who represents Anambra North Senatorial District, is quite disappointed with the manner in which a hand full of media outlets have jettisoned their integrity and the credibility of the Nigerian media as a whole, by publishing falsehood to deliberately mislead Nigerians and making the only means of livelihood for Nigerian journalists, more difficult than it already is.

“The Senator refutes all allegations made by Sahara Reporters on said contract.

“Stella Oduah states categorically for the record, that the contract was awarded by her predecessor and challenges the online medium to provide evidence if it has any, to counter this.

“Senator Stella Oduah, a serving member of the Senate Committee on Aviation, wishes to use this opportunity to urge serious and credible media houses to strive, no matter how hard, to apply due diligence, run thorough fact checks, before going to print, to save Nigeria and Nigerians from ill-intentioned publications such as this, from Sahara Reporters,” the statement read.

its you that should keep shut, she has stated it clear that the contract was not awarded by her, can you now provide proofs to the effect that it was indeed her that awarded the said contract. if you cant do that then just keep quiet and let sensible minds dissect this rebuttal.

what i have noticed is that the APC government is seriously looking for a way to divert the attention from the persisting fuel scarcity in the country. they just wanna cook up a story that will get people talking and by extension sympathise with their visible failure and incompetence.

corruption has always been the fall guy but this time it wont work.

Well she hasn't denied that the contract was fraudulently executed during her tenure and under her ministerial supervision, she has only clarified that she wasn't the one that awarded the contract.

She still has to answer for the fraudulent way the contract was executed under her supervision, particularly the part where the runway was relayered instead of being rebuilt.

It's interesting that the same person that's been claiming/taking the glory for 'remodelled' and 'renovated' airports is suddenly denying that she awarded the contract.

The double standard is what baffles me not that I am interested in defending anyone again.

They accused her of inflating the contract sum when she wasn't the DG of NCAA that was responsible for the purchasing procedures and at the same time, they are excusing Fashola for an offense (borehole contract inflation) similar or heavier than hers.

I don't understand the inconsistencies.

Enugu airport was shutdown for runway renovation on 10-Feb-2010
- Enugu Airport reopened for commercial aviation services on 16-Dec-2010 after the runway extension and resurfacing. (closed for ~10 months)
- Babatunde Omotoba was the aviation minister that initiated, awarded and started the project. He was replaced by Fidelia Njeze (in April 2010) who supervised the completion of the project.
- Stella Oduah was confirmed as Aviation minister on 02-July-2011

She's deflecting the N10 billion contract award for the runway which was truly awarded before her tenure while staying silent about the N13 billion she was given to refurbish the terminal when in fact the same N13 billion was more than enough to build a bigger and better airport from scratch with longer and better runway.

Either way, she contributed to the lousy state of that airport and looking at that terminal, I don't think she spent more than 1 billion on that terminal..


All in all, N23 billion in total is down the drain....



On the new International terminal for which he performed the Foundation Laying ceremony, Goodluck Jonathan said the project, to be built at a cost of about N13 billion will provide for 500, 000 international passengers and provide Enugu and the South East region not only “a modern, efficient, functional, safe and secure gateway, but most importantly a prestigious edifice that will offer a befitting welcome and goodbye from the region and Nigeria”

Earlier in her address of welcome, Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah said the occasion calls for celebration, not just for the people of the South East geo-political zone of the country, but indeed for all Nigerians, enthusing that the Transformation Agenda of Mr President “is being actualized tangibly at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu”.

Princess Oduah said the new international terminal with a total floor area of 25,000 square meters will have capacity to handle 500,000 passengers per annum and will be completed in 24 months. “On completion of the terminal, this airport will finally answer it’s name in the real sense of the word “Akanu Ibiam International Airport”.
