N255m BMW scandal: House didn’t ask me to resign – Oduah

The embattled Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah,
yesterday said the report of the House of Representatives,
which investigated the N255 million cars' scam never
recommended her for resignation or request President
Goodluck Jonathan to sack her.

Speaking yesterday, during an inspection tour of the
remodelled Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA,
Lagos, Oduah, who reacted angrily to the question when
asked by one of the journalists said that she had equally read
the report totally.

Oduah said what the House recommended was for the
Presidency to review some of the things in the sector. She
said, "I think it means you don't read or you probably don't
understand English, because I read it too.

What was there was that Mr. President can and should review
the report. That was what they said there. Probably, you
should go back to school." Speaking on the remodelled
airport, Oduah assured that the airport would be
commissioned before the end of first quarter of 2014, adding
that other airports across the country would equally be
completed and open for use before the second quarter of 2014.

"We want to start the use of these facilities by the end of the
first quarter. What is very key is that passengers travel
experience will be very different, which means you have the
comfort, the safety, security and most importantly, you
increase the capacity, which means you have ample space to
do what you are supposed to do.

"Nigerians should expect the airport that was promised them,
aviation that would be catalyst to the nation's growth, aviation
that has been repositioned and most importantly, an aviation
that will create jobs and skills for Nigeria aviation experts.
"Ours is to maximise the capacities that have not been
maximised all these years."
