Oduah had recently issued a statement to deny the alleged diversion of fund under her watch
as aviation minister.
Among the early birds at the office were Makarfi and members of his team; former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana; a former governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke; Plateau State ex-governor, Jonah Jang; a
former aviation minister, Chief Femi Fani - Kayode; PDP Board of Trustees member, Prof. Ahmed Alkali; and a former Chairman, DAAR Communication, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, among others.
The event kicked off with a reception at the house of commons earlier, attended by a number of ministers and members of parliament including the secretary of state for transport Chris Grayling and
aviation minister Baroness Sugg.
Chris Mullin MP said in the House of Commons: «During my 18 undistinguished months
as aviation minister, I learnt two lessons about the aviation industry.
I look forward to kicking off that debate with colleagues and
the aviation minister in Parliament today.
He said over 40
aviation ministers and representatives from 70 countries, the World Bank, African Development Bank, manufacturers of aircraft and aviation equipment will attend this year's conference focusing on «Financing Development of Aviation Infrastructure.»
