Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, says the senate cannot stop the planned demolition of buildings occupied by the sector’s agencies in Lagos.
The upper chamber had directed Sirika to stop the proposed demolition of the aviation agencies’ offices, pending the outcome of the intervention being made by its committee on aviation.
Addressing journalists after the federal executive council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, the minister said the senate’s function is solely advisory, thus, it cannot prevent the demolition.
He said the planned exercise was to give way for better development in Lagos.
