Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has rejected claims by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike that the federal government provided N50 billion to support the upgrading of the Ladoke Akintola International Airport in Ibadan. Makinde made his statement on Tuesday during a presidential town hall meeting in Katsina, contradicting Wike's assertion made on Monday's *Journalists' Hangout* on TVC.
The controversy arose from Wike's claim that the federal government had allocated N50 billion towards the airport project, a statement Makinde firmly rejected, asserting that the entire project is being funded solely by Oyo State.
