Governor Ademola Adeleke has expressed his determination to revive and complete the 12-year-old Osun Airport project in Osun State.
Osun is the only state in the South West without an airport.
He made the declaration at the flag-off of the upgrade of Ibadan Airport to Ladoke Akintola International Airport, where Governor Seyi Makinde described the Ibadan upgrade project as “economically viable and sustainable.”
The Governor, through a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, commended Governor Makinde as “a man of vision and a passionate agent of development.” He said, “We are pushing ahead with a very ambitious governance agenda.
“I am glad to announce to this august gathering that our government has concluded plans to complete the almost 12-year-old Osun Airport project. “Our airport vision is now upgraded to include a cargo terminal alongside a free trade zone under a PPP arrangement,” the Governor said.
