Med-View Airline, Tuesday, accused the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, of breaching its contractual agreement with the airline on the airlifting of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia. The airline also said it has petitioned the Presidency on the alleged breach.
While tendering documents with various dates, Adeleke alleged that NAHCON through its Acting Chairman, Abdullahi Mukhtar, acted “wickedly, in contravention of the agreement and frustrated Med-View Airline from continuing with the exercise”. But a source in NAHCON insisted on phone that the ongoing hajj exercise was flawed with “personal interests.”
According to Adeleke, “the contractual agreement stipulated that on execution of the contract, NAHCON was to make 50 per cent payment to Med-View, which was supposed to be $4,448,831.08 to enable the airline to conclude all necessary arrangements for the commencement of the hajj operations”. The letter with the head: ‘Demand note for Payment to GACA and TAIBA,’ reads in part: “As a result of exigency with regards to preparation for 2019 hajj airlift exercise, we write to request for payment of the sum of $900,000 to GACA and TAIBAH as analysed below: GACA – $400,000 and TAIBAH – $500, 000.”
