A former Director in the Ministry of Aviation, Captain Muhammad Bala Jibrin, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rescind the decision to decentralize the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) in Zaria.
In an open letter to the President, Captain Jibrin argued that the decision is ill-advised and threatens the aviation training synergy at NCAT, which has been built over decades. He explained that the college's six fully integrated schools depend on each other to deliver quality training.
Captain Jibrin warned that breaking up the school would damage the aviation training synergy and urged President Tinubu to protect the institution's legacy. He also praised the college's infrastructure, including radar simulators and fire-fighting simulators, which he described as world-class.
The former aviation director also raised concerns about other issues in the aviation sector, including the approval for a new airstrip at a church premises in Lagos and the appointment of directors to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which he said breaches the principles of fairness and diversity.
Captain Jibrin urged President Tinubu to take urgent action to address the issues, saying that his letter is not personal but a duty-bound expression of truth to power, given his over 45 years of experience in the aviation sector.
