The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has denied claims that the ministry is planning to relocate a firefighting simulator from the Nigerian College of Technology, Zaria, Kaduna State, to Lagos State.
This was contained in a statement dated March 3, 2023, by the minister’s Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood, on Keyamo’s official X account today.
In the statement, titled ‘Aviation Ministry Refutes Unsubstantiated Rumour Regarding Movement Of Fire-Fighting Simulator From Zaria To Lagos’, the minister noted that the rumour is nothing but the handiwork of mischief makers bent on destabilising the course of the nation.
He added that there was no iota of truth in the rumour because the originator, who is a member of the House of Representatives referred to an unsubstantiated plan by the ministry to relocate the fire-fighting simulator out of the Nigerian College of Technology, Zaria to Lagos State.
The Northern Elders Forum on Sunday expressed grave concern over the rumoured relocation of the simulation equipment from the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology in Zaria, Kaduna State.
A statement on Sunday issued by Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, Director, Publicity and Advocacy/Spokesperson, NEF, commended the House of Representatives for taking a bold stance against this unacceptable relocation plot, especially in light of the suspicious transfer of key departments from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria from their original locations in Abuja to Lagos.
