Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Michael Achimugu, said this on X.
Achimugu stated: ?Subject to new information, Ibadan airport may be shut down for six months for maintenance/upgrade, starting from early March.?
In June, President Bola Tinubu approved the move to upgrade the Ibadan Domestic Airport, Alakia, to an international airport.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State said this in Ibadan.
Makinde stated that upon completion of the airport upgrade, which include the expansion and extension of the runway and the general upgrade of the facilities, the state will begin to receive international flights.
Also in January 2025, the governor stated the construction of the new international terminal as part of efforts to upgrade the facility to international standards. (Vanguard)
