Kogi gets approval to build an international airport in Zariagi The Kogi State government has announced that it has received approval from the federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development to construct an international airport in the Zariagi area of the State. In a statement released on Friday, Kingsley Fanwo, the commissioner for information and communication, noted that the approval was contained in a letter dated October 9, 2024. “The Ododo Administration has considered it a top priority for Kogi State to have an International Airport and join the league of the aviation hub,” the statement reads. “The strategic location of the state is no doubt, an invaluable advantage in harnessing the aviation service market as the centre of the nation. “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. “The Governor is determined to hire the best hands in the industry to make the project a huge success. As you are aware, aviation is an industry of trust and standards. “We thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and the Aviation Minister for the historic approval that will help to further develop Kogi State.” Fanwo highlighted that Kogi's governor, Usman Ododo, is dedicated to ensuring the airport project is completed on schedule. The new airport is expected to benefit ten neighbouring states and alleviate traffic between Lokoja and Abuja. He also emphasized that the airport will include cargo facilities, which is a significant aspect of the project, in addition to passenger services. Fanwo reassured residents that Ododo’s administration is focused on driving progress through strategic initiatives in the state. #KogiAirport #DailyAgent
