The Osun State Government had said a new investor had been found for MKO Abiola International Airport, Ido Osun.

The State’s Commissioner for Works and Transportation, Remi Owowaiye, disclosed this on Friday during the Ministerial Press Conference organised by the Ministry of Information and Civic Orientation.

Recall that ex-governor Rauf Aregbesola in May, 2018, during an interactive session, had said the concession agreement entered with AWOL International Limited, a private consultancy firm, on the project had failed.

However, Omowaiye said many investors had indicated interest in the project, adding that government was at the stage of entering into Memorandum of Understanding with one of the investors before the advent of coronavirus.

‘MKO Abiola airport’ll boost economic growth’
He said, “Many investors have shown interest in the development of the project. Government is at the stage of entering into MOU with one of the investors on a BOT arrangement and serious meeting had been held with the leading investor and their partners from USA.

“If not for COVID-19 pandemic, the MOU would have been signed and site handed over by now.”

This airport is unnecessary consider the distance between osogbo to ibadan. Where is Fayose airport self.

Another means to cash out

Every state deserve at least 1 airport

Even each local government deserve airport.

Nukilia:

Every state deserve at least 1 airport

The think-thank of this failed project are the ones declaring conflicting Muslim public holidays now.


Little wonder!

What a useless, good for nothing state!

Every state deserve at least 1 airport

..... in a sound economy.

Osun despite the abundant natural resources at its disposal is one of the poorest state (if not the poorest) in a country with poor purchasing power.

More than 60% of Osun indigent have never seen a plane on ground not to talk of boarding it and I do not think they are ready to use air transport. So why waste resources on new Airport when there is one crying for patronage few miles away?

A state finding it to pay full salaries of workers should not be building airport especially when the spenders in the state are Public school Teachers.
