From all indications, Alison-Madueke has made it a point of duty to travel only on private jets. The problem is that the chartered jets are sometimes used for reasons not related to her official duties, but to satisfy her private taste for comfort and luxury. This underlines her proclivity for wasteful adventures by plundering the national wealth with reckless abandon. Trips involving Global Express XRS ,tail number S5-GMG and tail number OE-LGX,OE-LSS and OE-INA costing $300,000 (about N50m) per trip-way above the standard cost of N7.5million for the same trip - were among flight schedules operated on foreign trips by the Minister between 2012 and 2013. A trip on December 21, 2012 from the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja to the United Kingdom with the Global Express XRS, tail number: OE-LGX cost N57.5million against an estimated N6million. This impunity personified is a pathetic celebration of graft that needs no substantiating. It is reprehensible, and demands a fundamental review of government’s policy on private jets, which itself is not only outrageous and scandalous but downright insulting on the intelligence of Nigerians - Huhuonline
