President Bola Tinubu is billed to flag off an agro-processing zone and inaugurate an airport in Minna, the capital city of Niger state, on Monday.

Umar Bago, governor of Niger, announced this on Friday when he hosted the national leadership of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) in the state.

Bago, who conducted the NUJ delegation on a tour, said the state would play a major role in the country’s agricultural sector with the agro-processing that is situated inside the airport.

“This is a free zone and in a free zone, you can’t see anything and we are very ambitious to expand the 2,000 hectares of land around the airport to 10,000 hectares of land,” the governor said.
