Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, says the federal government has commenced plans to enroll
students in its aviation and aerospace university.

Sirika disclosed this at an interactive session with journalists on Friday.

In 2017, the federal government had announced that it would established a university to produce aircraft in the future.

Sirika, at the media briefing, said the university is named Aviation and Aerospace University (AAU) and will be located in Abuja.

He said the varsity would commence registration for the 2022/2023 academic session from September 26, 2022 to November 18, adding that the take-off followed a provisional approval by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

According to him, the main objective of the establishment of the aviation university is the need for the country to go into field research development in the areas of aviation and aerospace.
He, however, said tthe university would be a pan-African institution but Nigeria would be the focus centre.

The minister added that “the university has been given a location very close to the airport area by the government and it will be established there”.
