British Airways awards certificate to 6 Nigerian Aviation College students

Six Nigerian aviation students have returned home from the United Kingdom after completing the inaugural British Airways Leaders of Tomorrow programme, an internship aimed at promoting excellence in Nigerian aviation.

The two-week internship included spending a week with the airline’s commercial team in Lagos and another visiting various departments from engineering to revenue management at its head office, Waterside in the United Kingdom.
It culminated with Keith Williams, British Airways’ chief executive, presenting the six undergraduate students of Nigeria College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) Zaria with global airline aviation training certificates. The awardees are Abimbola Caulcrick, Fajemisin Peter Adebola, Adachie Eneojo, Banigo Michael, Ubong George Itok, and Ogunranti Olaluwa.
Speaking during the presentation, Mr Williams said the programme celebrates the aspirations of young aviation students who represent the future of aviation in Nigeria. He commended the winners for their outstanding performance during the training in Nigeria and United Kingdom.
“We embarked on the Leaders of Tomorrow initiative because we recognise how important a robust and well-run aviation sector is for any economy and particularly one with as much potential as Nigeria,” he said.
Fajemisin Peter, one of the winners, who spoke on behalf of the others expressed delight at the training and thanked British Airways for its determination to implement the programme.
“With what we have learned throughout the programme, I can confidently say that we will be going back to promote excellence in the Nigeria aviation sector,” he said.
