Ilorin, Nov. 14, 2016 (NAN) The Rector of the International Aviation College, Ilorin, Capt. Abdulmumini Abdulkareem, has expressed optimism that the newly-constituted governing council for the college would inject new innovations for its development.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kwara Government had last week reconstituted a new governing council, led by Capt. Edward Boyo, for the institution.
Abdulkareem, in an interview in Ilorin on Monday, said that the constitution of the new council was to reposition the college to world standard.
“I’m privileged to be a member of the council and I believe that we now have technocrats with the requisite knowledge to transform the college.
“As you can see, we have gone beyond the training of commercial pilots. We have helicopter training for our pilots and flight dispatcher courses for people with keen interest in Aviation.
“We have well-equipped facilities for both ground and life schools, and our students easily get employment with commercial airlines in the country,’’ he said.
The rector reassured the public that the council was geared towards injecting new policies for the growth and development of the college.
The institution started as a Public/Private Partnership between the Kwara State Government and a private investor in Dubai and it formally commenced training activities in January 2013. (NAN)
