The Chairman of the occasion, Taiwo Raji, called on the gradating students to constantly be on their best behaviour, while striving to be pace setters in the field:
“Today is your day, and we are all sharing in your joy. I would like to advise you to be of good character as you go to work with others in diverse groups or organizations. Have the determination to be job creators and not job seekers; to fix the challenges and not create more; and to remain good ambassadors of your families and the Institute”, he urged.
Throughout the particularized twelve-week training (six weeks of Basic followed by six weeks of Advanced Flight Dispatch tutelage), the students were drilled in both the theoretical and practical facets of their course, even as the Institute received regular visits from observers from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), who showed up to ensure that the training was in line with industry best practices.
Adegbe divulged that the next batch of students will be graduating in December 2022. After making it clear that she runs an open-door policy, she went on to invite the graduands to reach out to her when necessary, as they go about exercising their duties in their various places of work.

Following NCAA’s approval, the school went on to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Eastwing Aviation Training Centre, Enugu, and today provides training for its Flights Dispatch students as well.
