Ondo air crash: Senate seeks audit of NAF aircraft, maintenance funds

The Nigerian Senate has called for a comprehensive audit of Nigerian Air Force aircraft and their maintenance funding following a crash in Ondo State that killed 25 people. The upper chamber also directed its relevant committees to scrutinize budgetary provisions for aircraft maintenance to determine whether inadequate funding or other lapses contributed to recurring military air crashes.

The Senate expressed concern over recurring military aviation accidents and the loss of personnel, raising questions about aircraft maintenance, ageing fleets, operational safety protocols and airworthiness.
