Presenting the equipment on behalf of the government, the permanent
secretary, Special Services and Council Affairs, Mallam Ado Umar Mohammed
said the gesture was aimed at The Senate has enlarged its aviation committee
to investigate the Oct. 29 ADC crash in Abuja, which claimed two of its
members.
Inaugurating the committee, Deputy Senate President Ibrahim Mantu said the
committee was special because it now included people who were knowledgeable
in the aviation sector for a thorough job to be done.
Mantu said, the committee had been empowered to invite experts from anywhere
to help it in its investigations.
``The Senate has given them enormous powers to unravel the causes of the
incessant crashes in the country,'' he said.
Mantu also expressed worries at last week's arrest of a man who allegedly
possessed substances suspected to be explosives at the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport, Lagos.
``It is sad that human beings can unleash terror on fellow human beings,''
he said.
``My appeal to Nigerians is that they should not allow themselves to be used
by people to unleash terror,'' he said.
Mantu called on the committee to conclude its work as soon as possible
because Nigerians were eagerly awaiting the outcome of their investigation.
Speaking earlier, the chairman of the committee, Sen. Mohammed Ibrahim, said
the addition of more members to the standing committee was to enable it to
``deeply look into the crash'' and others in the recent past.
Ibrahim said the committee was imbued with the hope that its report would go
a long way to put things in proper perspective in the aviation sector.
