The Nigeria Air Force on Friday reiterated its plans to collaborate with the Ekiti State Government in promoting and actualising the state cargo airport project.
Airforce Chief of Policy and Plans, AVM Remigus Ekeh, made the commitment when he led a team from the office of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Oladayo Amao, to Governor Kayode Fayemi in his office in Ado-Ekiti on Friday. The team had earlier embarked on an on-the-spot inspection of the cargo airport project.
Ekeh disclosed that the visit is a follow up to Fayemi’s initiative which he discussed with the former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, last year.
he said “We thank you for fulfilling your promise of giving us a portion of land at the international cargo airport for the air force to set up a base. We are very grateful and we will continue to ask for your corporation especially at this time when the nation is facing great security challenges”
