This, according to him, was in respect of approval of Federal Executive Council and the Ministry of Aviation as well as newspaper publication advertising the intention to sell the helicopters. The lawmakers argued that it was wrong for NCAT to have used an unlicensed auctioneer to sell the helicopters.
