Contractor escapes with N37m for airport hangar

By Favour Nnabugwu

A contractor to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, Mushaj Fahaj Nigeria Ltd, was alleged to have escaped with N37million meant for the college’s hangar.

Senate Committee on Aviation during an oversight visit led by the Committee’s Deputy Chairman, Senator Bala Na’Allah in Zaria yesterday, threatened to arrest the contractor for absconding with the said amount meant for the completion of the colleges’ third hangar project.

The committee members who visited several ongoing projects within the school premises were angry that the school’s third hangar project had not been completed after the school had allegedly paid Mushaj Fahaj Nigeria Ltd the contract sum.

Senator Na’Allah threatened the arrest of the contractor upon realization that he had been mobilized with N37m and had only done 20 percent of the job.
