Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, has been fired by President Goodluck Jonathan. Ms. Oduah has been caught in a web of certificate scandals and a scandalous purchase of two BMW armored cars for $1.6 million. Both scandals were exposed by Saharareporters.
Our correspondent reported that Ms. Oduah
and three other ministers within the Jonathan
govt were relieved of their positions on the
orders of Mr. Jonathan. However, their sack
was passed off as voluntary resignation from
the cabinet.
The other ministers sacked includes, the
minister of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe,
minister of police affairs, Chris Olukolade and
the minister of state for Finance, Yerima
Ngama
Late last year, we reported that Ms. Oduah
had compelled the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA) to pay Coscharis Motors, an
auto dealer, approximately $1.6 million for
two BMW bullet-proof cars.
Investigations by us showed that the highest cost for each such car in both the US and UK was $267,000 per car. NCAA and other sources further disclosed that the two cars were never delivered, compounding a scam by Ms. Oduah who reportedly split the $1.6 million funds with Cosmas Maduka, the chief executive of Coscharis.
More recently, SaharaReporters discovered that the former Aviation Minister did not earn a Masters degree she claimed to have received from a US college.
