A former Director in the Ministry of Aviation, Captain Muhammad Bala Jibrin, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reverse the decentralisation of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology in Zaria. In an open letter, Jibrin warned that splitting the college into six regional centres would disrupt decades of coordinated training and weaken the synergy between its integrated schools. He emphasized the importance of NCAT’s structure, where pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, and other aviation professionals train under one unified system, benefiting from hands-on experience and shared resources.
