The House of Representatives Committee on Aviation Technology, says it will look into the controversy surrounding the launched Nigeria Air project and inform Nigerians accordingly.

Chairman of the Committee, Mr Abiodun Akinlade, stated this during the inaugural meeting of the committee at the National Assembly.

He said there are a lot of issues surrounding the Nigeria Air Project that Nigerians need to know.

Mr Akinlade noted that the committee is highly concerned about the recent air crashes in the country and it would do everything within its power to curb it.

“We will, with the support of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), the regulatory authorities, organize a high-tech stakeholders town hall meeting to look into the causes of the air crashes and other safety abnormalities at our airports. Our airspace must be safe for all,” he said.

Mr. Akinlade explained that the Aviation Technology Committee, which is newly created, carved out of the existing Committee on Aviation, is a high-tech driven committee with so much expectations from members.

The lawmaker said the Committee will engage and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to give Nigerians a highly innovative and productive aviation industry.
