The House of Representatives has ranked the Ministry of Aviation amongst the best in the country on capital budget performance for 2012 fiscal year.
This disclosure was made by the Chairperson, House Committee on Aviation, Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha, during the 2013 Budget defence by the ministry in Abuja yesterday.
Onyejeocha said the House was satisfied with the quality of work and pace of transformation of the sector since the assumption of office by the minister.
