Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has assured that the International Cargo Airport will be fully operational by July, 2024.
According to the Governor, when operational the airport would aide transportation and economic development of the state.
He gave the assurance on Sunday, during his inaugural appearance in the monthly programme ‘Meet Your Governor’
Oyebanji, who saluted former Governor Kayode Fayemi for deeming it fit to construct an International Cargo Airport in Ekiti said the high level of technicalities involved in certification by relevant authorities have delayed the usage.
“The airport is going to be a game changer in the running of our business and economy because it is the terminus for the Ekiti State Ring Road Phase One.
“What makes me happy is that, the corridor through which the Phase one is located will be developed. Besides this, we are also thinking of setting up a new Ado Ekiti town along that axis that can be properly developed”.
