By Kayode Araba.
following allegation of relocation of fire fighting training stimulators from the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology NCAT Zaria to unknown location, the House of Representatives committee on aviation has constituted 7-man fact finding committee to visit the college.
However, it would be recalled that recently, Honourable Sodiq Ango Abdullahi in a motion at the plenary raised the alarm of alleged relocation of fire fighting training stimulators from NCAT Zaria consequently, the house mandated its committee on aviation to probe the allegation and report back in two weeks.
But speaking at an investigative hearing on Tuesday in Abuja, the minister of aviation, Festus Keyamo SAN said the allegation came to the ministry as a surprise, saying there was no such plans and attributed it to handiwork of detractors who want to cause disaffection.
He said we were bemused, we want to thank the committee for being proactive, it was bemusement that brought us here the stimulators is for training, without stimulators there is no training the minister alluded to..
Brefing newsmen shortly after the session, chairman of House committee on Aviation, Honourable Akinlade Abiodun said though the minister and the rector have clarified the matter and debunked the allegation, Nigerians must get further clearer picture.
According to the lawmaker, the committee has resolved to form a 7-man committee the committee will go to Zaria to ascertain the position of the equipment in question
