"The policies that the president decided to pursue by removing subsidy and deciding to float the Naira, that is why Ododo had more money to build an airport." Festus Keyamo says President Bola Tinubu’s policies and Governor Ododo’s leadership made Kogi Airport possible.

BIG WIN FOR NIGERIA! Yesterday, history was made in Lagos. Air Peace and Ethiopian Airlines — once on opposite sides over Nigeria Air — signed a bilateral interline agreement. The two airlines signed a historic interline agreement — one ticket, through-checked baggage, seamless connection from Nigeria to the world. Four of the biggest carriers in the world, namely: Etihad Airlines, Emirates Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Qatar Airways, have all signed interline partnerships with Air Peace this year! Today, Ethiopian Airlines @flyethiopian , the giants of Africa aviation has joined. This one is more than interline. It is African, anchored by the biggest African carrier, Ethiopian and the fastest growing airline in Africa, Air Peace, with both complementing each other for the progress of Africa’s aviation. This is what happens when a government believes in its own. Thank you to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT for rejecting the out-dated idea of a national carrier, a drain pipe to any economy, and choosing, instead, to strengthen existing indigenous Nigerian airlines. Your foresight is paying dividends in the aviation sector. We commend the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN @fkeyamo, for implementing the reforms of the administration in the aviation sector diligently. Today, the world is coming to partner with us, not to replace us. When Nigeria believes in Nigeria, the world respects us.
