Dear Lateef,

I read the article as captioned above posted on your blog and I get worried that if somebody can, in a bid to defend his work, post a lot of blatant lies on your blog with a view to mis-inform the public.

I can understand Akin Olukunle that he is trying to defend his job. But however that may sound reasonable, the national interest should have been his priority.

Akin Olukunle tried to defend his employer that there is no Fraud in FAAN. Even a toddler or a mad man on the street knows that FAAN is riddled with corruption. High degree of corruption is being exhibited in FAAN. And this corruption is practised by a clique in FAAN.

Akin Olukunle should please explain why is the Audit investigation instituted by the Honorable Minister of Aviation, if there is no alleged corruption.

Akin Olukunle should also confirm or otherwhise-Why were Mr Kolawole Simeon, Shalangwa, and others transfered out of Lagos because of their involvement in alleged shady contract deal with a Concessionaire with FAAN. These people were brought back by ex-MinisterNjeze.

Akin Olukunle said there is no fraud in FAAN. He claimed that 26 operational vehicles were bought for N246m. A simple calculation would mean that the cars were bought at an avarage price of over N8million.

But specifically, Akin Olukunle forget or refuse to tell the world that 2 Prado were bought at the rate of about N16million, Toyota Camry were bought at the rate of N10,120,000.00 each, Toyota Corrolla were bought at the rate of N6,4million each, Toyota Hillux were bought at the rate of N6.7million.

In the definition of Akin Olukunle, was there fraud in the above purchases or not. If he is confused, a telephone call to Elizade would tell him that a Prado is sold between N9million and N12Million, Camry is between N5.5million and N6.5Million, corrolla is between N3.350million and 3,8million. Please Akin Olukunle should confirm these.

Akin Olukunle said the vehicles are operational vehicles, I laugh! One of the Prado was alledgedly given to the Chairman, Board of Directors, Camry to Captain Araba (Ex-NCAT Rector), Director of Air Transport at the Ministry, etc. These people got the cars because they were Board members. What operations are these people using the vehicle for?

Akin, we staff know you are part of the clique. Posterity is there to judge you.

Akin Olukunle also talk about the Foreign Training of staff. These are good things coming to FAAN. While Akin tried to defend the execution of that training programme, he forget to tell the world the details about the training for the world to know how select few are milking the authority dry.

It was true that 72 staff of FAAN (with some Ministry officials) were to benefit from the training. It was also true that the training was to hold in South Africa but was changed to Miami. But the fact Akin Olukunle hid from the public was how was the training consumated? By who? Why the change in venue? How much was involved? etc.

Akin Olukunle should tell the world that in 2011, an approval of N918million was given by the Board for training, both foreign and local.

About N748million was already spent as at September 2011 including the foreign training. In a bid to ensure utilisation of this approval, the South African training was arranged by our M.D George Urensi with the former M.D Richard.

For this training, each participant would pay $6000 (fraudulently exhorbitant). Already, before now, FAAN had gotten an opportunity for "apprentiship" with Miami Airport in the USA.

All the affected staff had already been given their estacode, Flight Ticket and registration fee of $6,000 each. When the programme changed from South Africa to Miami, the staff used the monies to Miami.

Akin Olukunle refused or neglected to tell the world that Miami training does not require any regostration fee. So, where is the $432,000 for regstration for the training, and who collected that money? Our MD should please answer this question.

AKIN OLUKUNLE, IS THERE FRAUD IN FAAN? There are documentary evidence on all these fact as analysed above.

On the issue of ethnic cleasing, conscience of everybody, including Akin Olukunle will judge him or her. Akin only need to tell everybody why some transfers were made of recent. Why was there questionable transfers out of Lagos to remote locations? These and many others were done to enable the alleged fraud go unabated.

I challenged Mr. Akin to defend all these and reconsider his stand on whether there is fraud in FAAN or not.

More facts are coming.....!!!!!!!!
