The Senate on Tuesday summoned the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, and heads of agencies under her ministry, to explain the real state of the nation’s aviation industry. The invitation followed Thursday’s Associated Airlines plane crash in which about 15 out of the 20 passengers and crew on board, had been confirmed dead. The 23-year-old aircraft was conveying the body of a former Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, to Akure, when it crashed barely a minute after take-off from the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja, Lagos. Hours after the accident, a Saudi Arabia-bound Kabo Air plane with 400 passengers on board made an emergency landing in Sokoto on Friday when it lost its two main body tyres.
