First aircraft lands at Nigeria's Ekiti airport
Ekiti State Agro-Allied International Airport, Ado-Ekiti, was inaugurated for public use shortly after the first aircraft landed at the facility ten days ago. Its construction began in early 2021.
With the commissioning and landing of the first flight on its soil, Ekiti has joined the elite club of states in Nigeria that can boast of a functional airport that is expected to boost the export of agricultural produce, service educational and health institutions and the abundant tourism potential in the state.
Senator Hadi Sirika, the minister of aviation, who officially inaugurated the airport, was among the personalities on board the aircraft that flew in from Abuja to make the historic landing on Ekiti soil. (cj)
