appear before the Senate today to brief the upper
legislative chamber about the state of the aviation industry particularly the unfortunate crash of the Associated Airlines plane in Lagos on October 3. Oduah would have appeared before the senators last week Thursday but her appearance was rescheduled for Thursday because Senate President David Mark was not available and he had requested to personally preside over the probe session.
Our correspondent learnt that the minister and her aides were on their way to the Senate last
Thursday when they were told that their
appearance had been shifted to today.
The Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma – Egba, based
on the Order Paper, had last week asked his
colleagues to receive the minister and other
aviation executives who were invited to brief the
Senate on the state of the aviation sector and the
higher number of aviation incidents.
The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, informed his colleagues that the
minister and her team could not be received again because Mark was not around.
He said the Senate President had signified his
intention to personally preside over the session
before he traveled to the United Arab Emirates as
head of the Federal Government delegation to
render moral support for the Golden Eaglets, who were to play their final match in Dubai on Friday.
He said, “I think we should oblige the Senate
President that opportunity to preside over the
session because he was passionate about it and
he would have been around today but for the last
minute national assignment given to him.”
Ndoma – Egba therefore moved another motion for the postponement of Oduah’s visit to Thursday next week while the Minority Whip, Senator Ganiyu Solomon, seconded him.
