The Supervising Minister
of Aviation, Dr. Samuel Ortom while inspecting the on-going projects at the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos said the controversial N174
billion commitment fund is justifiable giving to the projects on ground at the
airports across the country.
“From what I have seen,
the N174 billion commitment fund is justifiable”-said the minister.
The minister also
expressed that no part of the on-going remodeling projects will be halted and
that no fresh project will be embarked upon except there is urgent need for
such.
According to Dr. Ortom,
“We are not interested in starting a fresh project. Those projects that are 80,
70 per cent and the ones half way complete will be given proper attention to
ensure completion”.
On the issue of
calibration, the minister said he has asked the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority, NCAA and Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA to work together
and arrive at agreeable conclusion as both agencies were set up by Acts to
govern their functions.
The minister inspected the
General Aviation Terminal, GAT, the Total Radar Coverage TRACON, Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, the fire station, power house among others. He
was accompanied on the inspection tour by the Managing Director of Federal
