The Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport has received full operational approval from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This development marks a major milestone for Ekiti State as it positions itself to boost agricultural exports and regional trade.

The approval allows the airport to begin full commercial operations, including the handling of both passenger and cargo flights. The facility is expected to serve as a hub for agro-allied products, connecting farmers and businesses in Ekiti and neighboring states to international markets.

Governor Biodun Oyebanji expressed excitement over the development, describing it as a victory for the state’s economic growth and investment drive. He noted that the airport will create jobs, attract investors, and strengthen Ekiti’s role in Nigeria’s aviation and agricultural sectors.
