Aliko Dangote has no ownership rights in Executive Jets Services Ltd, the Group Head, Branding and Corporate Communications, Dangote Group, Mr. Tony Chiejina has said.
The operating licence of Executive Jets Services Ltd was recently suspended indefinitely by the Ministry of Aviation after it flouted lockdown guidelines for safety when it conveyed an artiste to Abuja for a concert.
Chiejina refuted claims that Alhaji Aliko Dangote is part owner of Executive Jets Services Ltd and further denied ownership of the Bombardier Challenger 605 with registration number 5N-EXS.
He said, “Our attention has been drawn to an online publication which alleged that our President/CE, Aliko Dangote is a co-owner of the Executive Jets Services Ltd, a private airline based in Lagos. We hereby refute this allegation in its entirety, as Aliko Dangote has no stake or vested interest in the Executive Jets Services Ltd.”
He further said “The said aircraft Bombardier Challenger 605 with registration number 5N-EXS does not belong to Aliko Dangote. Dangote Group only keeps its fleet of aircraft in the hangars operated by Executive Jets Services Ltd just as others also avail themselves of the hangar services. The general public is hereby advised to disregard this unfounded and misleading report.”
