Nigerian Senate has rescinded its
resolution to summon the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, to
brief its members on the state of aviation sector and the high number of
aviation accidents in the country.
The senators consequently resolved that Oduah and Chief Executive Officers of agencies under her ministry should now appear before the committee on aviation over the issue. Senate leader, Senator Victor Ndoma – Egba, who moved the motion, said the action was based on the senate standing order 53 (6) which empowered it to reverse its decision. He also added that the decision was taken at the executive committee meeting of the senate last week.
Senator Ganiyu Solomon, who seconded the motion, confirmed that at the executive session last week, the senators were unanimous in the decision that the resolution should be rescinded and that the minister should rather face the aviation committee.”
There was an anti-climax during the session when Senate President David Mark called for comments from the senators and none of them offered any contrary opinion.
