The African Aviation and Aerospace University (AAAU), Thursday held its 3rd matriculation ceremony in Abuja, admitting a new cohort of students comprises 52 undergraduates and 75 postgraduate students into its aviation and Aerospace programmes.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in his address at the ceremony, disclosed that the future of African aviation depends not only on modern airports and aircrafts, but also on the quality of people who operate, regulate, maintain, design, and manage them.

To this end, Keyamo said that the institution has been deliberately established to produce those people.
