The Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan is poised for a significant upgrade, with plans to transform it into an international facility.
This development follows a pivotal inaugural meeting between the Oyo State delegation and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
On Monday, the Oyo State Committee on the Airport Expansion Project, led by Mr. Bimbo Adekambi and former FAAN Managing Director Mr. Kabir Mohammed, met with FAAN’s Managing Director/Chief Executive, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, and her team.
The meeting focused on the ambitious proposal to expand, rehabilitate, and upgrade the Ibadan Airport to international standards.
The upgrade aims to establish Ibadan City as a major aviation hub in the southwest region, enhancing both domestic and international connectivity.
This project is expected to boost travel and economic opportunities in the region. The details of the expansion plans will be further developed as the project progresses.
