dapachez: I thought toyota tundra was a truck? So its now a limo?

A new SaharaReporters investigation reveals that the National Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), another agency under the Ministry of Aviation, also purchased four Toyota Tundra vehicles for the Minister, Mrs. Stella Oduah.

Nigerians are currently up in arms about two armored cars purchased for her by
another agency, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, at the scandalous rate of N225million, and many are calling for her to be fired.

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.

Last week after SaharaReporters revealed the purchase of two BMW armored cars for the Minister, her aides and later 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 today 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

lygn19: I mean where most of Nigeria's defence arsenals are located,,, like we have in d present kaduna state, which happens to be in the core north, it shud me moved to d centre of Nigeria(middle belt), i.e sm where like kogi(the confluence town), where d river Niger and benue meets, cause to me that's the centre of Nigeria, so that 2moro no group can come and hold d rest of the country to ransom as we have here-

lygn19: I am not from d southsouth, but I believe that Nigeria wud fare better if we practise true federalism, confederation and 100 percent resource control,,,
As for d offshore oil wells, it shud be owned by d FG,and d proceeds wud be shared to all states of d federation,y all d regions wud pay pay a certain percentage of there revenues to the FG,
Also for landlocked regions, d govt wud demand little or no charges for custom duties.
Dissolution of power's shud also be done.
Also I believe the FG shud be allowed to control d military and airforce, the new defence capital shud be moved south,it shud contain some parts of the southeast,north,and south west, so that 2moro no region can hold Nigeria ransom.
State police shud be allowed, with Federal police available to get involved in state matters only when necessary.

lygn19: If sm1 told u last year that international flights wud begin in the east, I know u wud have said, its another good idea that wud result in failure and waste,,,
If sm1 told u abt d trains, I know u wud have said d same.
Shud I tell u y the northerners don't want d conference, that's because GeJ is from d southsouth, he has nothing to loose but everything to gain...dats y I believe he wud pursue d outcome of d conference and see it implemented.
I can tell u that if it was a northerner organising dz national conference, they wud have canvassed for it because they know the conference won't be held for d interest of Nigeria but of the northerners.

lygn19: Out of d 6 geopolitical zones, every zone is to bring a uniform delegates of 20 each.
The delegates wud be selected independently by der various zones.
The resolutions will be signed into law d same way unitary system was signed into law.
