The Project Coordinator of the Azikel Group Aviation Training Programme, Comrade Robert Igali, has dismissed claims over the authenticity of its training programme. The youth leader absolved the group of any wrongdoing in the programme slated for the United States, declaring that it is genuine and meant to support young Bayelsans in pursuit of an aviation career.
According to Igali, the Azikel Aviation Training programme is a self-prestigious philanthropic initiative that supports Bayelsa youths aspiring to pursue aviation training in pilots for helicopters, fixed-wing aero planes, and aircraft maintenance engineering.
Comrade Igali, who made this known in Yenagoa while reacting to an online report accusing the Azikel group of wrongdoing and allegations raised over a purported 49-page petition filed against the company before the state House of Assembly, said the Azikel aviation training programme is a philanthropic programme without any political affiliation or financial benefit to the sponsor.
