The document also revealed that the purchase of the hotel was concluded after serious negotiations and procurement processes were diligently followed and perfected.

Several memos in respect of the purchase, ranging from expression of interest to valuations by the Federal Ministry of Works and Messrs Habibu & Co independent valuers, were cited as evidence.

Similarly, due diligence/post qualification reports; approvals by the Federal Ministry of Aviation for the purchase of the hotel, dated March 7, 2023; and ministerial Tenders Board of March 2023 were tendered to absolve NCAT from any shady deal.

Besides, “Certificates of No Objection” from the Bureau of Public Procurement were conveyed to the Aviation Ministry, followed with “Due Process Review Reports” for the purchase of the hotel confirming that the transaction was wholly transparent.

In addition, the Ministry of Aviation conveyed the Federal Executive Council approval to the college for purchase of the hotel, vide FMA/PROC/HQ0.895/I/55, dated 2nd June, 2023, to absolve NCAT from any financial misdemeanor.

The report therefore challenged any interested party to contradict the college and advised the public to disregard allegations of fraud/corruption in the purchase of the hotel.

It further explained that the hotel was bought to ameliorate the accommodation problem of the college; house students in a secured and comfortable environment. The facility is also expected to boost the internal revenue base of Africa’s hub of aviation, NCAT.
