The Canadian company which arranged how
the Rivers State Government’s controversial Bombardier Global 6000
private jet was ferried into Nigeria last year has written to the
Federal Government, explaining how the jet got to the country through
Senegal, among other details.
The company, ACASS Canada Limited,
stated how it assisted the Rivers State Government to take the delivery
and possession of the aircraft from the manufacturer, Bombardier of
Canada.
The letter dated May 1, 2013 and signed
by ACASS’s Executive Vice-President, Mr. David Dorrance, was directed to
the Federal Government through the Acting Director-General of the
Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Mr. Joyce Nkemlokam.
The company, however, said its support
service contract with the aircraft culminated in the delivery and
turnover of possession of the Canadian-made jet to the Government of
Rivers State on September 28, 2012, in the United States of America.
The letter reads in part, “ACASS Canada
Ltd is a Canadian, incorporated company, working in the business
aviation industry. We offer our expertise to clients around the world,
including assisting new aircraft owners with the entry into service of
their new aircraft and sometimes, providing temporary crew and logistics
support of such aircraft operations by their owners.”
“It has come to our attention that you
are inquiring about the operations of a certain Bombardier Global Vision
Aircraft, registration number N565RS, concerning its activities in
Nigeria.
“We assisted the Government of Rivers
State of Nigeria with taking delivery and possession of their new
aircraft. During these preparations, we requested, on behalf of our
client, assistance for the Nigerian importation of the aircraft through
Caverton Helicopters which was never consummated or received.
“Our entry into service support
culminated in the delivery and turnover of possession of the aircraft to
the Government of Rivers State on September 28, 2012, in the USA with
the exception of crew support and advisory support.”

Pdp pls leave Amaechi alone. At least he didn't steal the money neither did he get the money by deception via oil subsidy. Why can't Tukuur resign over his son's oil subsidy case as is done in a decent society? Imagine fielding Ahmadu Ali by the presidency for the BOT job after his son's scandal!! Who doesn't know what u people are doing to Amaechi. Any way thank God Amechi has 9 lives.
ReplyDeleteSo anonymous are you saying government should not bother about suspected corruption in one area simply because there are other corrupt areas? If your hand is clean, no one can really nail you. It's not by sentiments, it's by facts.
ReplyDeleteThe problem we minority in this country have is that we neither support nor appreciate each other. In offices, we suffer and now that our own is president of d country we are louder in criticising. One would think our own being d leader of governors' forum, he will use his office to plead, cajole and get support for the president. I have been bothered by Amaechi's utterances and I have been praying that matters do not deteriorate. Please let us be patrotic and do only what will move this country forward. Let our children inherit a country with good image economically, politically, technologically, academically, spiritually etc. Long Live Nigeria. I pray the Holy Spirit will give us the 7 gifts and the 12 fruits we need to move our cuntry, families and ourselves forward in Jesus name Amen
