The Ibadan Airport in Oyo State is back in operation following weeks of closure for major modernisation and upgrade works. The reopening has been welcomed by residents, business owners, and travelers who depend on the airport for local and regional flights.

The upgrade, part of the government’s efforts to improve aviation infrastructure, is expected to boost economic activities in Oyo State and the South-West region. Authorities say the new facilities will enhance safety, improve passenger experience, and attract more airlines to operate from the airport.

With the airport now open, stakeholders believe it will strengthen Ibadan’s position as a growing hub for business, trade, and tourism, easing pressure on Lagos and providing more travel options for Nigerians.
