Hadi Sirika: EFCC To Summon Sacked Heads Of Agencies

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced a plan to summon all the sacked heads of agencies of the Ministry of Aviation over the failed Nigeria Air project.

According to reports, it was learnt that the sacked officials are being summoned in connection with an ongoing investigation of a former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, relating to money laundering amounting to N8.069 billion.

Daily Trust reports that the EFCC is planning to formally invite all the sacked heads of agencies who worked directly under Senator Sirika in the aviation ministry.

An EFCC official told Daily Trust that letters of invitation to the sacked and suspended officials were already prepared to come over to explain their roles in the alleged different fraudulent activities that took place in the ministry under Sirika.

Osun Defender recalls that President Bola Tinubu sacked the heads of Nigeria’s aviation agencies in December 2023, including the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET), and Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT).

Those sacked included Kabir Mohammed of FAAN; Tayib Odunowo of NAMA; Akinola Olateru of NSIB; Prof. Mansur Matazu of NiMet; and Alkali Modibbo, the Rector of NCAT while also suspending the Director-General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Musa Nuhu.
