Ismaila Danjuma Adamu
The Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) under Joseph Imalighwe as acting rector, has welcomed the appointment of Ismaila Danjuma Adamu as substantive rector and chief executive of the college.
In a statement by Jude Amadi, its director of information, NCAT said the very rich profile and pedigree of the new rector lends eloquent credence to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inclination to having square pegs in square holes.
Ismaila Danjuma Adamu is a consummate academician and an administrator of repute. He holds a B.Sc and MBA degrees from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University and a PhD thesis on “The impact of International Air Transport Liberalisation: The case for Nigeria” from the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom.
His quest for greater knowledge in civil aviation management and operations led him to attend many aviation conferences, seminars and courses, including: Air transport marketing, Westminster; ICAO Trainair plus competency course, EASA Kenya; ICAO Basic AVSEC course, Bahrain, etc.
Prior to this appointment, Adamu has till date, been an aviation management resource person in NCAT.
According to the NCAT statement, Adamu has no doubt spent time and resources to prepare and equip himself for this national assignment, noting that he, no doubt, combines deep knowledge and expertise in both the air transport (aviation) and land transport sectors, adding that he is gladly welcomed back home to NCAT.
