The rescission followed a motion by Senate Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, entitled: “Rescission of Senate resolution on the invitation of the Minister of Aviation to brief the Senate.”
The motion was seconded by Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Ganiyu Solomon.
Before he read the wordings of the motion, Ndoma-Egba invoked Order 53 rule 6 of Senate standing Orders (as amended)
Order 53 rule 6 states “It shall be out of Order to attempt to reconsider any specific question upon which the Senate has come to a conclusion during the current session except upon a substantive motion for rescission.”
Armed with the Order, Ndoma-Egba recalled that on Tuesday, 8th October, 2013, the Senate among others resolved to invite the Minister of Aviation and Chief Executives of the Aviation parastatals to brief the Senate on the state of the aviation sector and the high number of aviation incidents in the country.
He added that the Senate at its Executive Session resolved that the briefing (by the Minister) should be now held before the Senate Committee on Aviation.
