Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has vehemently denied claims by the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, that the Federal Government provided N50 billion for the upgrade of the Ibadan International Airport. Makinde, speaking at a town hall meeting in Katsina, stated that the entire project is being funded by the state government alone.
Wike had previously claimed on TVC’s Journalists’ Hangout programme that the Bola Tinubu-led administration had allocated N50 billion for the project. Makinde affirmed that the state government had undertaken the project without any alleged federal funding, dismissing Wike's statement as untrue.
