President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday inaugurated former Corps-Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Osita Chidoka, as the new Minister of Aviation.
Chidoka replaces Stella Oduah, who was sacked by Jonathan on February 12th, 2014 after a series of reports exposed her involvement in a web of certificate scandals, as well as the scandalous purchase of two BMW armored cars for $1.6 million.
Dr. Suleman Abubakar was also named as the Minister for National Planning; Abubakar was lecturer at the University of Abuja. He will simultaneously work as Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission.
After swearing in Chidoka just before the Federal Executive Council began its meeting, Jonathan announced the replacement of Chidoka as FRSC boss with Boboye Oyeyemi, who until now was Deputy Corps-Marshal.
