Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo said that the Federal Government will turn Zaria Hotels in Kaduna State into classrooms and dormitories for the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria.

Keyamo stated to reporters in Zaria on Wednesday that the NCAT has bought the Zaria Hotels as an annexure to increase its possibilities for growth.

Shortly after a tour of the facility to get to know everyone, he talked.

According to Keyamo, NCAT continues to be the top organization serving the aviation sector in Nigeria and throughout West Africa.

“The landmass we have here is enough for expansion, so the potential for the college, in terms of expansion, is great.

“But, 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.”

The minister assured the management of the college that government would keep working on areas that needed improvement.

On reports that the college’s fire simulator and other facilities are to be relocated elsewhere, the minister said that there was no such plan.

“There 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.”
