The long-awaited Ekiti State airport project is making significant strides, with construction now nearing completion. This ambitious infrastructure initiative, once completed, is expected to transform the state's transportation landscape, boosting both local and regional economies.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji, in a recent statement, confirmed that the airport, which has been under construction for several years, will soon be ready to commence flight operations. This development marks a milestone in Ekiti’s commitment to enhancing connectivity and fostering economic growth through improved transportation links.
Located in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, the airport is designed to accommodate both domestic and international flights, offering a vital alternative to crowded airports in neighboring states. With a modern terminal and state-of-the-art facilities, the airport is poised to attract investments, promote tourism, and create job opportunities for Ekiti residents.
"This project will provide a critical boost to the state’s economy," said Governor Oyebanji, emphasizing the government's dedication to creating a more integrated and accessible Ekiti. "We believe this airport will significantly improve the movement of goods and people, positioning Ekiti as a key player in the region."
The project is expected to reduce travel time and ease the burden on nearby airports, thus enhancing the state’s accessibility for business, tourism, and economic activities. As the airport nears operational readiness, stakeholders and residents are optimistic about the positive impacts it will bring to the state’s growth and development.
