#EndSARS: Reps postpone hearing on civil aviation amendment

The House of Representatives committee on Aviation has postponed the proposed Public hearing on the six Executive Bills on civil aviation earlier scheduled to hold from October 20th to 22nd, 2020 with immediate effect.

A new date would be communicated soon, the committee chairman, Hon. Nnolim Nnaji said in a terse statement without providing reason for the postponement.
