In a move aimed at enhancing efficiency, national coverage, and smooth operations, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly approved the division of the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria, into six campuses.
This development is expected to establish NCAT annexes in all geopolitical zones across the country.
Established in 1964, NCAT is Nigeria’s foremost aviation training institution and a Regional Training Centre (RTC) designated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
Currently, the college has only one annex in Lagos, but the new expansion plan will see campuses set up in Akure (South-West), Osubi (South-South), Ebonyi (South-East), Ilorin (North Central), Yola (North East), and Zaria (Northwest).
The federal government has allocated N3.68 billion in the 2025 budget for the actualization of this project.
This move is expected to decentralize NCAT’s operations, which has been in the works for several years.
The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) confirmed this development on their official social media account, stating that the six campuses will be distributed across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
