The Federal Government has approved the listing of Eastwing Aviation Training Institute under the National Board for Technical Education, NBTE.
This was done to address the shortage of manpower in the aviation sector.
Having met the technical evaluation by the Federal Government, the Institute can now commence the process of admission of students through the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and the students, upon completion of their studies, will be awarded national diploma and high national diploma, respectively.
Speaking on the approval, the founder of Eastwing Aviation, Christopher Edeh, urged youths to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the institution to achieve their dream of becoming pilots, aviation engineers, cabin crew or other functions found in the sector.
The Eastwing Aviation Institute also recently established a non-governmental organisation to encourage less privileged youths who are talented and who meet the basic requirements but are not able to financially pursue their dreams.
