The Federal Government has announced plans to convert Zaria Hotels in Kaduna State into classrooms and hostels for the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) in Zaria.
This development was shared by the Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, during a press briefing in Zaria on Wednesday. Keyamo emphasized the importance of expanding the growth potential of NCAT by acquiring Zaria Hotels as an annexure to the college. He stated that NCAT is a leading institution in the aviation industry in Nigeria and West Africa.

"The landmass we have here is enough for expansion, so the potential for the college, in terms of expansion, is great. But, despite that, we have also acquired Zaria Hotels as an annexure to the college. We want to add to the facilities on the ground," he said.
The minister reassured the management of NCAT that the government is committed to addressing any areas that require improvement. Addressing rumors about the relocation of the college's fire simulator and other facilities, Keyamo dismissed such claims as false. "There is nothing like that; if we do it, where are we going to take it? NCAT is the training hub for the aviation industry; the rumor is being spread by mischief makers," he added.

The collaboration between the Federal Government and NCAT is expected to enhance the training and educational facilities available to students pursuing careers in the aviation industry.
