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.
“Safety and security issues first before any other thing in the aviation sector, the reason efforts are being made to put some of the airports with issues of failing infrastructure in good shape.
