Top-rated Canadian-made private jets chartered regularly by the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, are now being flown by the new Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, investigations by Saturday PUNCH have shown.

The development brings to question the new administration’s criticism of financial recklessness of the previous administration and its resolve to cut costs in the face of falling oil prices.




The Bombardier luxury private jets with cozy interior, flown by Kachikwu and Emefiele belong to VistaJet Holding SA, a Swiss charter airline that has satellite facilities in some countries of the world, including Nigeria.

Diezani had faced sharp criticism for chartering VistaJet’s private jets for several months and accumulating huge sums of bills that was almost half of the cost of a private jet.

The CBN, impeccable sources within the apex bank revealed, had also entered into a long-term and renewable contract with VistaJet.

The contract gives Emefiele unfettered access to one of VistaJet’s luxury planes any time of the day and for whatever number of hours.

According to top officials of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency working in the Air Traffic Control Towers in Lagos and Abuja airports, Emefiele has been flying regularly one of VistaJet’s private jets.

He has been sighted flying the Bombardier Challenger 850 flown by Diezani during the last administration.

According to unconfirmed sources, the CBN pays $1m to VistaJet a year for the use of any of ......

where are those Zombies that colluded with APC to formerly and incipiently lambasted Diezani for utilizing private jets with “redundant” cost, thus not being frugal with expending public funds?

Why are they mute and failing to lambaste the APC's govt over the defalcation of public funds by even transcending beyond that of GEJ's administration via having a perennial contract with copious amount of funds to enable him bask in the prerogative of maintaining an unconstrained access to luxurious private Jets? .

The more things seems to change, the more they remain thesame.....

Not even remain... worse than befor e plus their hypocrisy

Na the same pipo.

There is no change in this administration just continuity

Every Nigerian is corrupt and loves luxury, the seemed incorruptible ones only haven't got the opportunity.

booked

First, it was the complaint that the Presidential Air Fleet had too many planes. They came into office and they are yet to sell one of the aircrafts. Now this! The APC is gradually being unmasked as a party that speaks from both sides of its mouth.

Hmmm..the Obahiagbon of Nairaland . I always laugh really hard whenever i come across your comments. The hifalutin and excess verbiage gets me everytime. But yeah i totally concur with you. Isn't it funny how everyone in the APC is saintly,infallible and beyond reproach? They simply can't do no wrong. Placed on a higher pedestal and viewed as immortals whom we lesser mortals must pay obeisance to. It's really sad these set of people are being allowed to get away with so much. Everything has practically ground to a halt. Yet, when we cry out aka wail,we're hushed and reminded we've had similar experiences in the past so deal with it. Where then is this much vaunted change? Nigerians have been caught up in a vicious cycle. It's a sorry state of affairs.

Change my ass

Wasn't there a circular that they shouldn't fly first class

Duh why why first class if you can fly private

APC is the greatest threat to our development and growth in this nation. they ridiculed and destroyed everything, every person, every institution in the last govt just to seize power, only to be in power and do the same thing they ridiculed. if all political parties continue to toll this line of destructive opposition championed by APC, this country can never move forward.

Hmmmm.... Same wine, same story in a different bottle.

Foolish persons always say 16years of PDP

Baba too is a flyer anytime anyday. What do you expect his employees to do? There are almost 10 jets in the Presidential fleet and Baba has personalised all of them, leaving only a dillapidated one for Osunbade

Speechless

fulanimafia, stop viewing the topic.

Say something even if is sai Baba as a chief zombie.

Please where's that 40yrs old virgin, NgeneUkwenu.

He said, “Since he (Kachikwu) became GMD, he has not spent any money on private jet. The NNPC jet has problems and I believe that it’s been moved to the villa. The VistaJet that we are using is owned by the companies with whom NNPC has joint venture agreements. And you know that the NNPC has about 60 per cent in its JVs.

“So since we have 60 per cent of the JVs, anything that has to do with the JV operations, including jets and so on, we are entitled to use it. Therefore, it does not cost NNPC a single kobo to use VistaJet that you mentioned.”

When asked to further explain the 60 per cent joint ventures which the NNPC has with other oil majors, Deen said, “We have JV agreements with oil majors and international oil companies, and I am going to be specific about only VistaJet. The companies with whom we have JV agreements are the ones paying VistaJet for we are entitled to use that facility because we contribute 60 per cent of the joint venture funding.

“VistaJet is part of the services that the joint venture operations entail. So NNPC does not pay, the Nigerian government does not pay N1 for the use of those VistaJet’s planes. It is part of the entitlement that we get as partners in the JV agreements.”

Deen stated that the entitlement of the NNPC had been available all the while but nobody exploited it until the present minister came on board.

“So in other words, the practice is saving Nigeria a lot of money by way of probably maintaining private jets or buying jets or even chartering planes in order to travel abroad.”

Why are wailers not concerned that Diezani Madueke paid N10 billion for services she should be getting for free.

I've become quite tolerant with your wailing so there is no need to interrupt.

Regarding the topic, the contract has already been paid for so it would be smart by half to stop flying planes that have already been paid from the provision in the last budget.

Unless you have proof that provisions were made for the continuation of this practice in Buhari's budget, then your thread is dead on arrival.

Besides, I'm sure you read that no payments have been made by this government for the jet, and that they are part of the JV agreement.

How about asking why DiezaTHIEF was paying billions for something she was getting for free?

since it is free in kachikwu's time it is also free for mmadueke or do you want to tell me the agreement was changed because of kachikwu?

see you, why do you talk as if you know all that was on the agreement? were you also a stakeholder in the aggrement? Does the agreement include maintainance? How sure are you that this agreement was not the one used by mmadueke?. That aside what have you to say about the unconfirm amount of $10m paid by CBN?

Scholes007:

Are you the PA for Madueke? Why did you not show up at the Senate to defend her when she was accused of spending N10 billion to charter this same airline services? Why did your Oga run away from the Senate investigations when she could have simply told them that the services were free.

Ok no be say i support dem ooo,but if baba from Aso Rock dey fly airforce 1,why 2 of my brothers no go fly too?After all, na dem get d oil.Make una Carri go Ibe and Emefele.

Then it ends up meaning that your so called reckless by mmadueke is also been exhibited by kachikwu and emefiele but now in double fold.

You conveniently ignored the explanation given by a named stakeholder, yet you're asking me about an allegation from someone the report refers to as an unconfirmed source? Are you serious at all?

All your answers are contained in the rest of the article that the poster FRAUDULENTLY cut out to mask the propaganda title of his thread.

The question is why Diezani was paying for services that came free with the JV agreement?

It is becoming very difficult to defend this government that's why the chief Zombies are lost of words.
Just yesterday we heard that Unilag students were crossing the canal. By 2019 , they will swim the lagoon when they protest against poor services.
Tribalism/Religious hypocrisy= Suffering.


Fulanimafia how much did you buy fuel and how long did he take you to get it.
