Fresh revelations indicated on Tuesday that Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, maintained a second jet.
The jet, a Global Express XRS plane, is allegedly chartered specifically for her private and official trips overseas.
A return trip on the XRS plane is said to cost taxpayers €600,000.
The jet is different from the....
Challenger 850, which the House of Representatives said gulped N10bn in
the last two years to fly the minister.
Investigation by The PUNCH showed
that the House Committee on Public Accounts stumbled on the second jet
in the course of the ongoing probe into the N10bn expenditure on
Challenger 850.
Findings also showed that the owners of
Challenger 850 might have fled the country shortly after the House
ordered an investigation into the transaction between them and
Alison-Madueke.
It was gathered that the aircraft owners
reportedly became jittery after the committee declared its plan to
summon them to assist in the investigation.
Culled - Punch
