Supporting Local Operators and Aviation Development
During his visit to Caverton Helicopters, Keyamo emphasized one of his key performance indicators (KPIs), which is to support and encourage local operators in the aviation sector.

This facility plays a vital role in the maintenance and repair of helicopters, ensuring their operational safety and efficiency.
Taking a Crash Course in Piloting a Helicopter
As part of his visit, Keyamo shared an interesting experience of taking a crash course in piloting a helicopter.
He mentioned that Caverton Helicopters provided him with access to a very modern helicopter simulator. This hands-on experience allowed him to better understand the intricacies of piloting a helicopter.
Honorary Captain’s Certificate
Keyamo concluded his post by revealing that, after his crash course in helicopter piloting, he was presented with an Honorary Captain’s Certificate.
This certificate serves as recognition of his engagement with Caverton Helicopters and his commitment to supporting the aviation industry.
Keyamo’s Comments on the Tinubu Certificate Controversy
In addition to his visit to Caverton Helicopters, Keyamo also addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
He criticized some television anchors for displaying what he termed a stunning level of illiteracy in their comments on the matter.
Keyamo’s Perspective on the Certificate Controversy
Keyamo pointed out that the Chicago State University (CSU) has not denied the authenticity of the certificate presented by President Tinubu.
He emphasized that there is no forensic report indicating that the certificate is fake or altered.
Comparing the Tinubu Controversy to Buhari’s
Keyamo made a comparison to his tweet in 2019 when there was a certificate controversy surrounding former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He noted that his tweet from that time would have been applicable if CSU had acknowledged issuing the replacement certificate while denying its authenticity.
