Abuja —The Senate has mandated its committees on aviation and anti-corruption to commence investigation into alleged disbursement of 40 million dollars ($40m) loan for rehabilitation and development of infrastructure in the aviation industry.

The mandate is part of a 15-point recommendation adopted while considering report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Aviation on the poor state of the aviation industry in Nigeria.

The report was presented by the Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso (APC Kano Central).

The committees were also mandated to probe a N33.55 billion alleged to have been released by the Federal Government in 2011 for the same purpose.

The upper chamber further called on the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) to stop the collection of navigational charges on all training aircraft in the country.

It also recommended that only qualified and properly trained personnel should be employed, in view of the delicate nature of the aviation industry, while capacity building should be given priority.

The Senate called on the aviation sector, under the Federal Ministry of Transport to collaborate with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) to ascertain the cause of high price of aviation fuel.
Equally, the red chamber urged NAMA and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to pay more attention to the provision of state of the art flying equipment to enhance safety and assist pilots to do their jobs professionally.

It noted that the provision of the equipment would further guard against a situation where planes could not take off and land because of poor visibility.

Chief executives of aviation parastatals and the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology were also urged to put in place a programme to replace aging pilots to pave the way for young pilots.

The Senate also urged officials of the aviation sector not to interfere in the running of specialised units in the industry.

FAAN was also advised to rehabilitate and complete all abandoned structures and pull down those that had lost their value.

The Senate also recommended that abandoned aircraft in custody of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) should be resuscitated, while the Federal Government should develop a financial programme as a bailout.
The bailout, according to the upper chamber, should be tailored toward growing airlines in the country.

“The framework of this financial programme can take into consideration funds for acquisition of new equipment”, it said.

let me go and call lalasticlala

Hmmm... let proper investigation be done and any erring party found be charged and tried by the courts not browbeaten by security agencies with their penchant for endless detention.

If they need training then they should get trained on how to pursue investigations to logical conclusions. Finally it is not everything that should hit the news even when nothing has been done. For once they should present a finished job at least up to d point of trial...not every time they are seeking or set to.

Was a genius in looting English language and grammar sef

Hope Stella Oduah will not be caught in the net once more.

I pray the commitee will do a diligent work, Aviation is one sector than can generate a lot of revenue for the Gov't if proper utilised.

God bless our country.

Princess Uduah would soon develop a knee condition that requires medical attention abroad.

Watch out.

Did u say proper Investigation? What world do u come from or have u 4gotten that HRH stella Odua is now a Senator? This is a joke. T

Thieves don't have moral justification to probe thieves

What bailout? The bailout that Arik and Jimoh Ibrahim and co got from CBN some years back,have they been refunded or the Nationalization of private debt of the Airlines as assumed by Amcon? Where is the bailout for the masses? The senate is populated by imbeciles that strive on sucking the Government. Next election will be our chance to have a people oriented senate. The purging has already began with the suspension of the opportunist Shehu Sanni. Only the best will be good enough for the next senate. The next election war will be about electing a senate that match the integrity of the Buhari led executive


they have the answer inside the chamber. Where is Senator Stella Oduah . Save money & ask her . No need for probe

Buhari Oooooo do and come down so we can have a government and real government not playing to the gallery.


No light, no job, food prices are rising, investors leaving, no IMF loan, oil price fall, no money and all we here is probe and probe.
