  • Linking Me With Naira Marley’s Flight Is Ridiculous – Fashola
  • The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said he
    has not travelled out of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, since
    March 22.
    The minister was reacting to a letter written by the Chairman and
    Chief Executive Officer of Executive Jets Services Limited, Sam
    Iwuajoku, over circumstances surrounding a Lagos-Abuja-flight
    operated on Saturday.
    .
    The PUNCH had earlier reported that the airline was suspended by
    the Federal Government for flying a musician, Azeez Fashola aka
    Naira Marley, and his team to Abuja to attend a concert.
    .
    The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika had announced the suspension
    during a Presidential Task Force briefing in Abuja on Monday.
    .
    Subsequently, the Chairman of the airline wrote a letter of apology
    to Sirika saying he gave the approval for the flight thinking the
    passenger was Fashola.
    .
    Reacting in a statement on Tuesday, Fashola’s Special Adviser on
    Communications, Hakeem Bello, said, “The attention of the Office
    of the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde
    Fashola SAN, has been drawn to a letter signed by the Chairman/
    CEO of Executive Jets Services Limited, Dr Sam Iwuajoku
    concerning a flight it operated to Abuja last weekend.
    .
    “For purposes of clarity and in order to set the records straight, the
    Hon. Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola SAN,
    has not travelled out of Abuja since March 22, 2020, when he
    returned there after an inspection tour of the Enugu-Port Harcourt
    Expressway construction work and a visit to Lagos, before the
    lockdown.
    .
    “The decision of the Hon. Minister not to travel was taken in strict
    compliance with the Federal Government’s ban on inter-state
    travels as part of efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.
    .
    “It is therefore ridiculous for Dr Iwuajoku to attempt to link the Hon.
    Minister with any non-compliant flight.”
