He also said: “The way to develop our state is to cooperate with each other, support investors, show respect for investors and go the extra mile, so that we will give investors the confidence and comfort that the whole state is available to support their investment.
“So that they can make money and achieve their objectives while helping in developing our state. I want to assure you that not only do we appreciate what you have done to us but we are available to support in any way or form to ensure that this aviation college is completed within the shortage possible time.
“We pray that all what you set for shall come true.“

“I must particularlly appreciate and congratulate the Chairman and CEO of Air Unity Aviation Services for considering Kebbi for this project. It is my understanding that there are indeed a lot of other states across the North-West but the choice of Kebbi is not an accidental one.
“The choice of Kebbi is indeed on the ground of, among others, the necessary infrustructure and necessary support provided for the success of the project,” he said.
