The House of Representatives has vowed to recover two helicopters, Bell 206L4 BZB and Bell M2061- L4, belonging to the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, NCAT, Zaria, sold to private individuals. The Chairman, House of Reps Committee on Public Assets, Rep.

Ademorin Kuye, said this at the investigative hearing on the sale of the two helicopters in Abuja on Thursday. Kuye expressed worry over the sale of the two helicopters to private individuals when the college was left with none for training. The committee also quizzed the process leading to the sale of the helicopters as security agencies, including the Nigerian Air Force, Navy, and the Police, indicated interest in purchasing them.

The Committee said despite initial appeals to NCAT to provide certain documents regarding the process that led to the sale of the helicopters in May 2023, they had not been able to provide it. This, according to him, was in respect of approval of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, and the Ministry of Aviation as well as newspaper publications advertising the intention to sell the helicopters.
