The embattled minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah has stated that the House of Reps recommendation over her part in the N255 million BMW contract scandal did not stipulate that she should resign.
The minister said those who were reading into the report and asserting for her resignation did not read the report well and should go back to school. She said the report said Mr. President should review some of the things she did as aviation minister.
She made the comments to reporters whilst inspecting the expanded hall at the departure wing of the Murtala Muhammad International Airport.
She stated, “I think it means you don’t read or you probably don’t understand English because I read it too. What is there is what Mr. President can and should review. That is what they said there. Probably you should go back to school.” She said the expanded hall with 30 immigration counters would be commissioned before the end of the firdt quarter of 2014.
“We want to start the use of these facilities by the end of first quarter. What is very key is that passenger 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.
She continued, “Nigerians should expect the airport that was promised them; aviation that would be catalyst to the nation’s growth, aviation that has been reposition and most importantly, an aviation that will create jobs and skills for Nigeria aviation. Ours is to maximise the capacities that have not been maximised all these years.”
