In an apparent subtle reply to the lingering brouhaha between her and management of Arik Air which has accused her of shoddy deals leading to the grounding of the airline, Aviation Minister Princess Stella Oduah rather than answer the allegations leveled against her has decided to publish on her social media account,an official reaction from the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) press release.

FAAN’S STATEMENT ON DISRUPTION OF ARIK OPERATIONS AT MMA
On Thursday September 20, 2012, it was brought to the attention of the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria that members of the industrial unions in the aviation industry carried out an industrial action, which entailed the disruption of Arik Airlines’ flights, allegedly to recover debts owed by the airline to various agencies in the industry.
The management wishes to inform the public that it was not aware of any plan by the unions to embark on the said industrial action as the management considers it to be counter-productive to the current efforts being made by management to recover debts owed FAAN by Arik Airlines and other customers.
The management wishes to assure the public, particularly air passengers and all other airport users, that we are doing everything possible to address the issue that informed the industrial action by the unions without recourse to violence.
We also wish to assure the public that their safety and security remains our top priority at all our airports, including the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
