Tinubu splits Nigerian Aviation College into six campuses across geo-political zones

President Bola Tinubu has announced the division of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, (NCAT) Zaria, Kaduna State, into six campuses.

The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) shared this development on Wednesday through its official X 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 post stated.

According to the APC Ondo State chapter, the six campuses will be distributed across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.

The campuses will be located in Akure (Southwest), Osubi (South-South), and Ebonyi (Southeast), while others will be established in Ilorin (North Central), Yola (Northeast), and Zaria (Northwest).

NCAT is the foremost aviation training institution in Nigeria established in 1964 and it is a Regional Training Centre (RTC) designated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Since its establishment, the college only has an annex in Lagos, the country’s commercial capital and the hub of aviation in Nigeria.
