Stella Oduah Finally Hands Over, Thanks GEJ in Her Farewell Speech
The
former Minister of Aviation, Priness Stella Oduah, finally handed over
at the Ministry of Aviation, Federal Secretariat Abuja, on February 18,
2014, Tuesday.
Present
at the ceremony were the newly-appointed Permanent Secretary, Ministry
of Aviation, Dr Mrs Jamilla Shu'ara, the Supervising Minister of
Aviation, Dr Samuel Ortom and his aides.
In
her speech, she thanked President Jonathan for finding her worthy out
of the 160 million Nigerians and also listed her achievements while she
was Minister. Read the abstracts from her speech below:
“It
was a great privilege to be chosen from amongst the 160million
Nigerians to serve in the Federal cabinet. My profound gratitude goes to
Mr President who gave me this rare privilege. I also want to thank for
him all the support he accorded me to pursue his transformation agenda
in the Aviation
sector. I equally wish to thank my aides, aviation
sector workers and stake holders who partnered with me to realize our
vision & mission in the sector. During my tenure, we gave our best
to institute reforms in line with Mr President's Transformation Agenda.
We produced the Aviation sector Master-plan and implementation Road map.
Using the Masterplan and Roadmap, we were able to...
-
Reconstruct and Remodel all 22 federally-owned airports across the
country. We also commenced the construction of Five International
terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Kano.
-
We also introduced the Perishable Cargo and Aerotrolis concepts to
drive the growth and development of not only the aviation sector but
also the country while modalities have been completed to kick-start the
Aeropolis project.
-
We also carried out institutional reforms, built the capacity of NCAT
to produce enough professionals for both the local aviation market and
for export.
-
My greatest accomplishment comes from the safety and security of the
Nigerian Airspace. We were able to procure, update and install
safety-critical infrastructure that has repositioned the sector to
achieve our objective of zero-accident rate in the Nigerian Airspace”.
It
would be recalled that the hand over has been previously scheduled for
February 14, 2014, Friday, then, for February 17, 2014, Monday. In both
cases, however, Stella Oduah did not show up, without giving any official explanations.
