A communicator for the National Democratic Congress, Dela Edem, has urged the government to sell the country's presidential jet. He believes the money raised could be used to fund important national development projects. Edem made these remarks speaking on a radio program. He suggested this action should be considered before any plans for a new aircraft are finalized.
The presidential jet, a Dassault Falcon 900, was recently sent to France. It underwent its annual maintenance there. This highlights ongoing costs associated with the aircraft.
