Breaking: Tinubu Splits Nigerian Aviation College Into Six Geopolitical Campuses

President Bola Tinubu has approved the division of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Kaduna State, into six campuses to enhance efficiency, ensure national coverage, and improve operations.

The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) disclosed this development on Wednesday through its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

“President Bola Tinubu has decided to split the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria–Kaduna State, into six campuses to ensure efficiency, national coverage, and smooth operations,” the APC Ondo chapter posted.

The new campuses will be strategically distributed across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

According to the announcement, the campuses will be located in:

Akure (Southwest);

Osubi (South-South);

Ebonyi (Southeast);

Ilorin (North Central);

Yola (Northeast); and

Zaria (Northwest).

The Nigerian College of Aviation Technology has been a key institution for training aviation professionals in the country.

Stakeholders anticipate that the expansion into multiple campuses will boost the training of skilled personnel, foster regional inclusion, and strengthen Nigeria’s aviation sector.

In other news, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, has said he was misquoted on the launch of a National Air Carrier.

In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, he stated that he remains dedicated to implementing the policy of President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, concerning the sector.
