Afe Babalola has described the federal government’s approval of an agro-allied cargo airport in Ekiti as the best thing to happen to the state in 2024.
NCAA spokesman Michael Achimugu announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Abubakar gave the charge at the NAF Safety Review Board Meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
The warning comes just a week after the Central Bank released $265 million of foreign airlines’ trapped funds.
“We are facing difficulty boarding the aircraft and climbing the stairs of airport buildings due to the lack of or non-functional elevators and ramps.”
“Finally, we suggest that Air Peace should consider flying their two other flights to any UAE airport at which there are available slots.”
The airport has 3.7 kilometers of runway and a 34.4 metres control tower, and was constructed under 20 months.
A total of 27 initial findings and eight immediate safety recommendations were made for immediate implementation.
