"I join otunba segun Runsewe, DG, NCAC in celebrating Bankole Bernard for a very successful and impactful leadership of nanta and for positioning a very hard working lady to lead nanta" he explained.

"Nanta is very critical to the the development of both the down stream aviation and tourism sectors and in hunting for egg heads, government should look the way of professionals who has made verifiable marks and give them opportunity to transform the industry, onung added, nothing that nanta under Bankole Bernard is a huge success and to know that he's going to hand over to another hard working deputy who is a woman, gladdens my heart".
