It has been proved that
the minister of aviation,
Ms Stella Oduah,
compelled the Nigeria
Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA) to purchase two
BMW bulletproof cars that
cost a whooping
N255million.
The report reads:
“That the contract for
the purchase of the
cars was not listed
in the budget by
NCAA, the agency
compelled by the
minister to make the
purchase , and was
not listed by the
Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria
(FAAN) and the
Nigerian Airspace
Management Agency
(NAMA).
“That spending
public funds on
unbudgetted projects
attracts three years
in jail and a fine of
N100,000 as
stipulated by the
ICPC Act.”
The House of Reps
committee report added
that Stella Oduah should
face the consequence of
spending public money on
unbudgetted expenditure
such as the purchase of
the cars.
These were contained in
the report of the House
Committee that
investigated the N255m
scandal.
The lawmakers also
disclosed that the NCAA
did not comply with the
Fiscal Responsibility Act
on Internally Generated
Revenue (IGR) as it has
not been remitting its IGR
to the federation account
contrary to Section 177 of
Nigeria’s Financial
Regulations (2009).
Going further, the
committee indicted Oduah
for approving an
overinflated contract by
approving a sum for the
cars which international
auto dealers have
described as a “rip-off”.
“The minister has not
addressed why the NCAA
paid a price tag that auto
dealers in the US and UK
described as ‘a rip-off’. It
is a fact that each of the
BMW cars should cost no
more than $167,000
which is approximately
N36 million."
The report concluded
thus:
“The President of the
Federal Republic of
Nigeria should review the
continued engagement of
the Minister for Aviation,
Princess Stella Oduah,
having contravened the
2013 appropriation and
approved revised
thresholds by exceeding
her approval limit of
N100m with the purchase
of 54 vehicles valued at
N643m”.

But if you make it near 1 trillion, you will walk free. If you doubt me, ask President Jonathan how 1.6 trillion was spent outside the budget for fuel Subsidy and nobody, including himself, is in jail.
