According to him: “The importance of air transport underscores the promotion of trade and investment and it allows Africa to leverage on all African Union, AU, agenda. We thank the Nigerian government for the necessary approval needed to do this operation.” “Uganda through the Uganda Civil Aviation Academy has entered into a partnership with the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology , Zaria to train Ugandan pilots, engineers, and other aviation professionals.
