Some four months after Saharareporters exposed monumental fraud and corruption at the ministry of Aviation in Nigeria, the Nigerian government today fired all directors working in various aviation agencies in the country.
Saharareporters had exposed how the former Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, forced several cash strapped agencies in her ministry to purchase several luxury vehicles including two BMW cars for $1.6 million.
