The Presidency, has announced that President Muhammadu Buhari, who is gradually recuperating in the United Kingdom, UK, has mandated all his Ministers to stop flying private jets.
The Presidency, further stated that Buhari is still working from London, where he is currently receiving medical treatment.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, who stated this during an exclusive interview with BBC Hard Talks, revealed that the Executive members had been mandated by the President, to fly business class in commercial airlines.
Asked to explain why Nigeria still has about 11 aircraft for Ministerial use despite the economy suffering a recession, the Minister said: “There isn’t any aircraft for Ministerial use. Ministers don’t use (private) aircraft, we travel public. There are some Presidential jets, some of which have been put up for sale, although I don’t have the details.
“But I think it is down from an initial of about 11 or 12, to something like about 7, and only 2 or 3 are really in proper condition. And I know he’s given some authorisation for some to be sold. So in terms of numerical accountability, he has reduced that substantially. Ministers are tied to travelling business class by commercial airlines.”
