Knocks for GEJ in Aviation

Contrary to the scorecard President Goodluck Jonathan gave his administration while marking his one year in office on Tuesday, the President of Aviation Round Table (ART), a non-governmental body, Captain Dele Ore, has given the president thumbs down on his performance in the aviation sector, saying that the last 365 days has not recoded any notable achievement.

Speaking in Lagos, Captain Ore took a swipe at the president on the ground that rather than move the industry forward, the activities of the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, had drawn back the hand of progress for the industry.

To Captain Ore, the only thing that was achieved in the sector in the last one year was mere consolidation of past gains put in place in by erstwhile ministers of aviation.

He said some of the "embarrassments" witnessed in the aviation sector were the remodelling of 11 airports in the first phase by the minister, which he described as cosmetics and the handing over of some of the functions of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).
