THE Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika has accused the Senate of overheating the demolition of offices belonging to agencies doing aviation activities at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
This follows a motion by the Senate, directing the government to halt the demolition.
Sirika however, said on Wednesday that the Senate is an advisory council and cannot drag issues with the government.
“There’s no individual that can drag it out with the government. If I want to pull down this hall and build a better one, who is going to stop me as a government?,’’ Sirika said during a briefing after the Federal Executive Council presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
“So I think it is not an issue, they are just overheating it and you know why. But we have a responsibility and mandate, and we are not shy, we are very bold to do all those things that are good for our people. We are also a very responsive and responsible government, where it will affect the lives of the people, of course, we are going to do it.
“We have been known to do things that better civilization everywhere we go. So, this one also is going to make life very good.
