 Foundation to lift  160 youths  with  training aviation 




The  Isaac Balami Foundation (IBF) , has concluded plans to lift over 160 youth with training across professions in the aviation sector.
 The foremost  aviation expert, former President of National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), Comrade Isaac Balami who disclosed this said the initiative to empower youths was occasioned by the prevailing economic challenges in the country requiring intervention to fix increasing hunger and suffering.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) Chieftain in a letter to Nigerian youths urged them to shelve the planned celebrations for his 4oth birthday anniversary.
Balami, a youth leader and former Obi/Datti Deputy Campaign Manager recently dumped the Labour Party, LP, for the APC.
Posting on his X handle as part of his message to the youths and other close allies said  it was better to plan for the future of the country’s youth in his own small way than to plan for his birthday.
He went further to state that he had decided to reflect deeply and then team up with those who were planning to throw him a birthday bash and that they will use the moment to advance some 40 precious lives in 4 different aviation fields making them 160 altogether.
He said he will team up with his friends to empower 160 qualified Nigerians in different aviation training through the Isaac Balami Foundation(IBF) this year.

In a move aimed at mudslinging, Aviation Elders accused  Najomo of handling safety matters with levity. Aviation Elders  accused Najomo of trivializing the sector by allegedly announcing his confirmation by himself in a video when the National Assembly has not done so. Though the NCAA would have ignored the group with its sinister agenda, but is constrained to set the records straight. NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Michael Achimugu has  countered all the allegations saying the...
