The Chairman, Senate Committee on Aviation, Senator Abiodun Olujimi, has disclosed her readiness to partner the state government in ensuring speedy completion of the Ekiti State International Cargo Airport built in Ado Ekiti.
Olujimi, who is representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, promised to work hard and capture the airport project in the 2023 budget proposal of the federal government.
This was as Olujimi and Governor Kayode jointly pledged to continue to collaborate in order to make the Airport under construction a success story.
Olujimi made this pledge yesterday during an on-the-spot assessment visit to the airport in company with Fayemi to determine the level of its readiness for commissioning.
He commended the governor for turning the vision of the airport into a reality for all Ekiti indigenes, saying that it would help in turning around the economic fortunes of Ekiti through job creation.
The Catholic Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most Rev. Felix Ajakaye, commended both the governor and the senator for setting aside their political differences for the progress of their state.
