Oduah Denies Ordering SSS Operatives To Stay Away From International Airports!

Following reports in a section of the media that Ministry of Aviation has given a marching order to operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) to stay away from all the nation’s international airports, the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah has debunked the report, describing it as untrue and a blatant lie. 

Speaking with newsmen shortly after inspecting ongoing renovation of the Jos Cargo Airport project in Plateau State, the Minister said there was no iota of truth in the report, adding that the nation’s airports’ needed operatives of the SSS more than before and could not have sent them packing. “That is not true, that is absolutely untrue, there is no reason for that to happen, we need the State Security Service to be at our terminals and they are there and will remain there.

“I don’t know where the reports emanated from, but I think it is unbelievable for anyone to think that someone should give marching orders to security men at any airport in Nigeria or any part of the world for that matter”, she said.

The minister, who expressed satisfaction with the quality of work on the job and urged the contractors to maintain the standard, however, lamented that the contract, which was awarded to Waland Services Ltd., had “dragged for too long’’.

“The project is in line with the design of the airport, but we are not happy with the pace of the work”, she stated.

She noted that much of the work on the project, aside from the ceiling, painting and fittings, had been completed, saying “there is no need for further delays in completing it’’.

On inherent benefits of the cargo terminal at the airport when fully operational, Ms. Oduah said, “The value chain that will emanate from the terminal is immeasurable. You are going to have new world-class commodities coming out of different rural areas.

“We are also going to have connectivity that is commercial-based and you are going to have a bottom-up growth in the economy of the state”, the minister stressed.

Adesina said this in Makurdi when he paid a courtesy visit to Gov Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.

“Agriculture is vital for Nigerians; that is why the President has made it the centre of his economic transformation agenda.

“When President Goodluck Jonathan made the decision, the goal was to add our domestic food supply, 20 million metric tons of rice and create 3.5 million jobs in a period of four years.

“In two years, we have added 15 million metric tonness of food and food importation has reduced from N2.3 trillion to N906 billion.”

He said that the Federal Government had delivered 16,744 tonnes of fertiliser, more than 450 tonnes of hybrid seeds and 738,000 cassava stems to farmers in Benue State.

Adesina added that the Federal Government had also completed two 2,000-tonne capacity warehouses and was committed to developing Staple Crop Processing Zones (SCPZ) that would enable farmers to add value to their produce, with Benue State as a beneficiary.

He said that the SCPZs, when completed across the country, would add N1.4 trillion to nation’s GDP.

The minister said that four agricultural hiring equipment centres would be established in the state, to enable registered farmers to engage in mechanised farming.

He called for greater collaboration among the tiers of government and commended the governor’s support for Agricultural Transformational Agenda.

Responding, Suswam assured the minister of the support of his administration and that of the people of Benue.

He said he was pleased with the establishment of SCPZs stressing that with the development would put Benue on the map of development.

He told Adesina that his name would be written in gold in the history of development in the country.

Suswam said hitherto the coming of the minister, agriculture was only seen as a means to access food and not a business that would fetch a lot of money as it is today.

He appreciated the commitment of the minister to agricultural development in the country, saying: “the quality you brought to the sector is outstanding.”

Suswam suggested that more attention should be given to yam processing as the state was one of the highest producers of the commodity in the country, yet little was known about it.

The governor identified the major problem confronting farmers as land clearing as they lacked proper equipment which made them turn to smallholding.

He said with the agricultural equipment hiring centres, Benue alone would feed the whole of Africa.

The highlight of the the minister’s visit was the inspection of Micap Rice Mills accompanied by politicians and top government officials in the state.
