President Muhammadu Buhari is keen on ensuring Nigeria’s national carrier is working, Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha has said.
Mustapha made the remarks at the 47th Convocation ceremony of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) on Friday in Kaduna.
According to him, “Mr. President intends to resuscitate the National carrier. Extensive plans are already underway to achieve this very laudable plan by a President who has the welfare of his people in mind.
“This must be exciting news for AFIT as the workforce for that airline should ideally be more than 60% local.
“Considering the cost of training aviation personnel against the economic realities of Nigeria, the military must be equipped to train and supply personnel to the civil aviation industry.”
He added that “When Mr. President assented to the bill upgrading AFIT to a university; it must have been with a view to raising globally competitive graduates.”
