The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has declared a six-month closure of Ibadan Airport starting in early March to enable extensive maintenance and upgrade activities.
In a statement released through his X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, Michael Achimugu, the NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, indicated that this decision was essential for conducting the required maintenance.
Papers News reports that the temporary closure occurs merely eight months after President Bola Tinubu approved the transformation of the airport into an international facility.
