The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, said on Tuesday that the Federal Government would construct 10 new airports across the country to boost civil aviation.
Sirika stated this when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Aviation to defend his Ministry’s 2021 budget proposals.
He said the regime of President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the Assembly have done justice to the civil Aviation sector since 2015 through the development of a roadmap, currently being implemented.
The Minister said the Federal Government would build new airports in Anambra, Benue, Ekiti, Nasarawa, Ebonyi, and Gombe states.
He also said that Kebbi, Osubi, and Dutse airports have been taken over by the Federal Government for redevelopment.
He said the Gombe State Government had also written the federal authorities, asking it to take over the Gombe Airport.

Geographically not needed. For example, it would not make sense where two small adjoining States can share an airport.

Not strictly needed but not misplaced priority either. Covid-19 has shown how Nigeria is at the mercy of others in regards to sectors like aviation, healthcare, science research, pharmacology, manufacturing etc.

We must move to remove these vulnerabilities that would have cost us dearly had it not been that God smiled on Nigeria and Africa by making us less susceptible to the crippling effects of covid-19 seen worldwide.

We must improve our aviation sector locally and and internationally with inclusion of a strong national carrier.

Imagine if Western airlines, because of covid-19, were still not coming to Nigeria till today? We would be crippled with many Nigerians unable to return to Nigeria and many not able to go abroad for even essential travel. We must stop leaving our fate in the hands of others. Covid-19 has shown we need to make amends urgently.
