Quotes
Basically, after our oversight, which is also part of our legislative responsibilities, we visited the agencies and tried to find out their needs and challenges and how we can come in to assist as legislators. Fortunately, also, before now, Mr President submitted bills for amendments, we have them and by early next year, we will start public hearing of all those bills and try and much as possible to do it fast and get them ready for passage. We are going to work with our senate counterpart to make sure we are ready for passage of the bills. The oversight was quite interesting and it gave us an idea of what is happening in the aviation industry.
John interview response to the question 'After your visit to the airport, what is your impression?'
"The issue of concessions have been a hear-say because officially we have not seen any document on concession. We just hear it like other people that there will be concessions. So, until we get the documents and study it at the committee level and the entire national assembly, then we can talk about concession.
John interview response to the question 'What is the position of the committee on airport concessions?'
"This is the same situation. We do not act on hear-say. We act based on documents available to us and that is why we cannot really comment on it. However, I can speak as a person but because I am chairman of House of Committee on aviation, I will not like to speak as a person. I will rather like to speak as an authority."
John interview response to the question 'Is this the same situation with the national carrier project?'
"Not yet. No documents have been made available to us on the second runway but there is also a need for a second runway. Officially, it is always better for such issues to be handled based on the available documents. On the issue of second runway, we have it in the budget and there are some funds for it in the budget but I’m also aware that that particular amount may not be able to execute the project fully."
John interview response to the question 'Have you been updated as a committee on the second runway for Abuja airport?'
This is not true. The state government is doing a lot on that issue. I can tell you that the land cannot be a problem because the custodian of land is the government and the governor has said it many times that whatever land is needed to get the Enugu airport runway back, he will provide. Work is on-going. The minister never said the delivery date is April next year. When minister came for budget defence, he said if the fund is available, the runway will be complete before Christmas but because the funds didn’t come out as agreed, the minister now said the runway will be ready before the Easter season. He did not specify the month, but I believe that the Enugu airport runway will be ready March, 2020.
John interview response to the question 'What is the situation with the Enugu airport? I hear that the land issues will probably delay the completion of the airport?'
