The House of Representatives has queried the ministry of aviation over alleged poor rehabilitation work done at the Jos Airport terminal building after gulping N406 million.

The Nkiruka Onyejiocha-led Committee on Aviation said it was taken aback when it discovered that in spite the release of the money, the details of the level of execution of the project were no where to be seen in the document at the disposal of the lawmakers.

The Director of Finance and Administration (DFA), Mr. Akin Ijiwole, who accompanied the Minister of State for Aviation, Mr. Hadi Sirika during the 2017 budget defence session with the lawmakers explained that he thought such details were unnecessary since there was no monetary release for the project worth N700 million in the 2016 budget.

Onyejiocha remarked that such excuses could not stand since there was the need to ascertain basic details relating to performance of projects and money so far released to enable the committee how much to appropriate for projects in the 2017 budget.
