Keyamo clarified this to the National Assembly’s Joint Aviation Committees on Wednesday during the defense of the 2025 budget. The Minister expressed disapproval of the government’s decision to purchase private homes in order to accommodate the Aviation College’s growing student body. Keyamo added that, similar to Nigeria Law School, every region of the country should have access to the institution from the nearest campus.
“Zaria has been a star for all of us,” he said. We are so proud of Zaria. Serving the entire nation, Zaria has been present since 1964. Additionally, the majority of our pilots and captains that you see today traveled via Zaria. Therefore, we truly take pride in it. Additionally, it has gotten numerous certificates from throughout the globe and a great deal of praise from ICAO. We are currently experiencing space issues in Zaria.
To provide you with an update, sir, I’m sure you kindly gave your approval last year or the year before for us to purchase a second hotel in Zaria because the school’s growing student body made it impossible for us to house them on the main campus.The law school and Zaria were established in Kaduna simultaneously. The legal school was established in Lagos. In question was the period from 1960 and 1964. The legal school has, nevertheless, grown outside of Lagos. The law school currently has campuses all around the country to make law education freely accessible. It is a single nation, sir.
Thus, we were forced to purchase the Zaria Hotel. Even though it is located in Zaria, the Zaria Hotel is now a part of that training college. Furthermore, we anticipate that the population will continue to increase. In order to accommodate more people who are willing to attend the school, we asked ourselves if we would continue to purchase homes in Zaria.
And why not make those campuses accessible to other regions of this nation as well, if we are already doing that? Why keep growing and purchasing private homes and hotels in a single town when there are 240 million individuals in the nation that desire access to that? Sir, it was the same thing at law school.
“The other people have campuses now that have been named; Yola, I believe, has one, Ebonyi has one, and so on.” The federal government has their sincere gratitude. They are pleased that training and training facilities are now easily accessible to them. Therefore, we can’t keep growing just in Zaria. Training facilities ought to be accessible in other regions of this nation as well.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
