Sirika made this disclosure during 2021 budget defence session on Tuesday at the National Assembly, the Minister of Aviation.
The Minister added that aviation is the fastest growing sector of the Nigerian economy despite the setback suffered from the COVID -19 pandemic.
Indications to this effect, he said are that 10 new airports are coming up in the country in states like Benue, Ekiti, Nasarawa, Yobe and others, apart from other ones taken over by the Federal Government like Gombe, Kebbi, Dutse, Zuru airports.
He, however, said that safety and security are more of important issues to them in the aviation sector than establishment of new airports.
