Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah Reportedly Lavishes $1.6million on Bullet Proof Cars.

A few days ago, the SaharaReporters  published a report on how the Nigerian Aviation Minister, forced the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to purchase two armored BMW cars at a cost of about N255million, with substantial evidence.
The Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Aviation has now confirmed the purchase of these vehicles, Mr. Joe Obi stated that the purchase of the vehicles was necessitated by the threats the Minister received following actions she took to reform the aviation sector;

“Yes, it is true that some security vehicles were procured for the use of the office of the honourable minister in response to the clear and imminent threat to her personal security and life following the bold steps she took to reposition the sector.

“When she came on board as the minister, she inherited a lot of baggage in terms of the concession and lease agreements in the sector, which were clearly not in the interest of the government and people of Nigeria.

“And so, she took bold steps and some of these agreements were reviewed and some were terminated, and these moves disturbed some entrenched interests in the sector, and within this period, she began to receive some imminent threats to her life; therefore, the need for the vehicles.

“It should be noted that these vehicles are not personal vehicles and were not procured in the name of the honourable minister; they are utility vehicles and are for the office of the minister, and if she leaves the office, she will not be taking the vehicles along with her.”
