The attention of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development has been drawn to a video making rounds of a motion moved on the floor of the House of Representatives by a Honourable member making reference to an unsubstantiated plan by the Ministry to move a fire fighting stimulator out of the Nigerian college of Technology Zaria to Lagos state and urging the house to restrain the move.
The rumor is nothing but pure mischief by agent of destabilization and is totally untrue.
We urge the public to disregard any such rumor and it amounts to grandstanding by anyone still trying to make political gains out of nothing.
