Experts slam Tinubu’s N100.5bn airport reimbursement plan for Yobe

Aviation experts have criticised the Nigerian government's plan to reimburse the Yobe State Government N100.5 billion for the construction of the Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo Airport in Damaturu. The experts argue that such reimbursements are unnecessary and that state-owned airports should be economically viable, with realistic traffic projections and sustainable operational plans.

President Bola Tinubu requested legislative approval for the promissory note programme, but aviation analysts warn against inflated project costs and regulatory concerns.
