He highlighted that the upgrade, which includes runway expansion, modern terminal facilities, and improved security measures, will not only boost Oyo State’s economy but also position Ibadan as a major gateway for international and domestic air traffic.
According to Hon. Omotoso, the Ibadan Airport upgrade is a testament to Governor Makinde’s dedication to creating a conducive environment for both residents and investors.
