The President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government has renamed some federal airports after several notable Nigerians.
This is according to a memo by the Federal Ministry of Aviation dated June 1, 2023, and signed by Mrs Joke Olatunji for the Director of Airport Operations.
The statement made available to Channels Television on Monday noted that the President renamed the airports βas part of reforms of the Aviation sectorβ.
The Maiduguri Airport was renamed after the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari and the Port Harcourt Airport after the late nationalist Obafemi Awolowo, while the Nasarawa Airport immortalised the late founder of the Sokoto Caliphate, Usman Dan Fodio.
