In a shocking turn of events, an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Christopher Odofin, has told the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that he was not aware of a dispute between the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) over the site of a contract awarded to Al Buraq for the Katsina airport project. According to a report by Daily Post Nigeria, the hearing took place on Thursday, October 28th. It is unclear whether the dispute in question has any impact on the ongoing construction of the airport. The nature of the contract and the specifics of the alleged dispute were not detailed in the report. This development comes as a surprise, as disagreements between government agencies over projects are not uncommon in Nigeria. The EFCC’s role in this matter is to investigate allegations of financial misconduct. It is unclear if the commission has launched an investigation into this particular dispute. The Nigerian Air Force and the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria have not yet responded to this claim by the EFCC investigator.
