He added that Adamu’s “quest for greater knowledge in civil aviation management and operations led him to attend many aviation conferences, seminars and courses like: Air transport marketing, Westminster; ICAO Trainair-plus competency Course, EASA Kenya; ICAO Basic AVSEC course, Bahrain, to mention but a few.

The statement highlighted that just before “Dr Ismaila Adamu’s appointment, he has till date, been an Aviation Management Resource person in NCAT”.

The NCAT statement also affirmed that Dr Adamu “has spent time and resources to prepare and equip himself for this national assignment. Without an iota of doubt, he combines deep knowledge and expertise in both the air transport (aviation) and land transport sectors”.
