The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has told management of the Executive Jets that he should be left out of the airline’s trouble because he has not left Abuja since March 22, 2020.
Fashola in a statement by his special adviser on communications Hakeem Bello, the minister said, “For purposes of clarity and in order to set the records straight, the honourable minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola SAN, has not travelled out of Abuja since March 22, 2020, when he returned there after an inspection tour of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway construction work and a visit to Lagos, before the lockdown.
“The decision of the honourable minister not to travel was taken in strict compliance with the federal government’s ban on inter-state travels as part of efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is therefore ridiculous for Iwuajoku to attempt to link the honourable minister with any non-compliant flight.”
