The Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development has approved bid by the Kogi State Government to build an International Airport in Zariagi.
The State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, said the approval was conveyed in a letter by the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, dated 9th October, 2024.
He said the administration of Usman Ododo was committed to the timely completion of the project with strict adherence to regulatory standards, saying an airport in Kogi State would serve 10 other states and reduce traffic on the Lokoja -Abuja road.
It will also decongest the traffic at the International Airport in Abuja.
According to him, “The project will not only boost the economy of the State, it will also create jobs and bring the potential of the state to the global scene”.
