Published
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has said it has no plans to shut down the Kaduna International Airport, in spite of bandits’ attack on its workers in Kaduna.
FAAN Director, Capt. Hamisu Yadudu, made this known to newsmen during an oversight visit by the Senate Committee on Aviation to various airport agencies in Lagos.
Yadudu said the management of FAAN, and the various security agencies would stop at nothing in ensuring the safety of human and equipment at all the nation’s airports.
He said FAAN had already beefed up security networks in all the nation’s airports.

The cold war between the Ogun State Governor, Mr. Dapo Abiodun and his immediate predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun manifested at the weekend, as the two leaders differed on the nature of the airport to give priority in the state.
While Abiodun made the case for a cargo airport to support the state’s massive agro-allied development potentials, Amosun called for the construction of an international passenger airport.
The duo expressed these divergent positions at separate sessions with the Senate Committee on Aviation under the leadership of Senator Smart Adeyemi in Abeokuta at the weekend.
In 2007, the administration of former Governor Gbenga Daniel commenced the agro-cargo project in Iperu-Remo in Ogun East, but could not complete the project conceived to support the state’s agricultural production.

Ogun State government is to continue with the plan to construct an agro-cargo airport in the state.
This was disclosed by the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, when he received the Senate Committee on Aviation, led by Senator Smart Adeyemi, at the Exco Chamber of the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan , Abeokuta.
The governor said that the agro-cargo airport project, conceptualized by the Gbenga Daniel administration in 2007, has lots of potentials in the overall development of the state in particular and the country in general.
It would be recalled that the immediate past administration of Senator Ibikunle Amosun jettisoned the idea of a cargo airport and opted for a passenger airport in 2018, with its proposed location in Wasimi in Ewekoro local government area of the state.
