Stella Oduah To Appear Before Senate Today

Baring any change in plan, embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah and other aviation chiefs will appear before the Senate Committee on Aviation, today.

Oduah had been summoned by the upper legislative chamber to explain her roles in the ill-fated 23-year -old  aircraft of the Associated Airlines that crashed in Lagos last month.

She could not appear before the Senate on Wednesday as she was said to have had sought a last minute permission from the senators to attend the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

It was learnt the minister was billed to appear on Wednesday before she sent "a last minute letter to the Senate leadership on Tuesday evening, requesting for another date to enable her to attend the FEC meeting."

It was gathered that Oduah's request was granted and the Senate committee fixed her appearance for Thursday (today).
The senators, it was learnt, would also be free to ask the minister  specific questions on the current N255m vehicle scandal rocking her ministry.
