Nigeria's Petroleum minister Diezani Allison Madueke
The jet, a Global Express XRS plane, is allegedly chartered specifically for her private and official trips overseas.
A return trip on the XRS plane is said to cost taxpayers €600,000.
The jet is different from the Challenger 850, which the House of Representatives said gulped N10bn in the last two years to fly the minister.
Investigation by The PUNCH showed that the House Committee on Public Accounts stumbled on the second jet in the course of the ongoing probe into the N10billion expenditure on Challenger 850.
Findings also showed that the owners of Challenger 850 might have fled the country shortly after the House ordered an investigation into the transaction between them and Alison-Madueke.
It was gathered that the aircraft owners reportedly became jittery after the committee declared its plan to summon them to assist in the investigation.
