The House of Representatives has urged the federal
government to remove all abandoned airplanes at the airports.
The green chamber mandated the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA) and the Federal Airports Authority of Niger (FAAN) to ensure
the clearance of the planes.
The resolution was sequel to a motion moved by Samuel
Adejare on Thursday during plenary.
Speaking on the abandoned crafts, he said the planes are a
visible eyesore that should be removed.
“The non-functional airplanes visible even from the runway
demonstrates a low capacity in maintenance and recycling culture in the country,”
he said.
Adding that “the space occupied by the abandoned aircraft
could generate revenue for the aviation agencies via parking fees and hangar
maintenance.”
The Committee on Aviation was asked to make sure the
directive is carried out. And the committee is to report back within three (3)
weeks for further legislative action
