Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, on Saturday inaugurated an uncompleted Ekiti Cargo Airport along Ado-Ijan Road, Ado-Ekiti, the state capital amid fanfare.
The former governor described the airport as a dream come true for Ekiti people, saying the facility would boost the socio-economic growth and development of the state.

However, SaharaReporters gathered that several projects had not been completed at the airport.

The Air Traffic Control (ATC), which is one of the most important facilities in an airport, is also yet to be completed.

The former governor had added that the project, which began in 2019, was geared towards unlocking the vast potential inherent in the state to attract investors, provide easy transportation of agricultural products, and job opportunities and open the state for rapid development.

It “is of a world-class standard,” Fayemi later said in a series of tweets on Saturday.

“Being a category 4E airport, this means we can accommodate large cargo – Aircraft. The Cargo Apron 155m x 128m can conveniently accommodate two 747-400. The passenger apron 137m x 100.5m can also accommodate three Boeing 737,” he had said.

“The runway length is 3.2km, the width is 60m (45m full strength and 7-5m each at the shoulders). The terminal building is built to operate and process international and domestic passengers.”

However, the airport inaugurated by the former governor was far from being completed.

SaharaReporters further gathered that Fayemi deceived Ekiti people by bribing the Nigerian Air Force to release its fighter jet which could land anywhere by design.

The airport project has yet to reach a significant stage, according to one of the labourers working at the site who spoke with SaharaReporters. Read Full Story Here

And this same set of leaders visit western countries, and they see how infrastructural development are being done there.

Nigerian leaders have failed Nigeria. The rate at which the country has sunk, I don't know when things will become better. This is irrespective of party, religious or ethnicity. They have all failed the country and it's people.

What a shame.
