The Federal Government is to convert Zaria Hotels in Kaduna State to classrooms and hostels for the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria, Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, has said.<\/p>\n
Keyamo told newsmen in Zaria on Wednesday that the Zaria Hotels had been acquired as an annexure to the NCAT to widen its growth potential.<\/p>\n
He spoke shortly after a familiarisation tour of the institution.<\/p>\n
Keyamo said that NCAT remained the best institution for the aviation industry in Nigeria and West Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe landmass we have here is enough for expansion, so the potential for the college, in terms of expansion, is great.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, in spite of that, we have also acquired Zaria Hotels as an annexure to the college. We want to add to the facilities on ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
The minister assured the management of the college that government would keep working on areas that needed improvement.<\/p>\n
On reports that the college\u2019s fire simulator and other facilities are to be relocated elsewhere, the minister said that there was no such plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is nothing like that; if we do it, where are we going to take it to? NCAT is the training hub for the aviation industry; the rumour is being spread by mischief makers.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his remark, acting Rector of NCAT, Mr Joseph Imalighwe, commended the minister for the visit and support for the college.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
