Ekiti State government has spent billions of naira on a fraudulent airport project and has continued to commit more funds to the project that has endlessly remained under construction despite the funds already committed to it. Some people have regarded the project as a white elephant gulping huge amounts of money with nothing to show for it. SaharaReporters earlier reported how Ekiti Cargo Airport was inaugurated with much fanfare in October 2022. However, six months after the inauguration of the project, it is not yet open for use.

How Ex-Governor Fayemi’s Fraudulent Uncompleted Airport Project Gulps Money Months After Inauguration, FanfareSince its conception in 2012, which was during Fayemi’s first term in office, billions of naira were committed to the project that has simply failed to kick off.

Sited along Ado-Ijan Road in Ado-Ekiti, almost close to the Afe Babalola University in the state capital, the multi-billion-naira cargo airport was awarded to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd. Nigeria by immediate former Governor Kayode Fayemi in 2019. The runway and adjoining roads linking the airport to the expressway connecting the state capital had been completed except for the drainages.

If the air controller detects any unsafe conditions, a landing aircraft may be instructed to"go around" and be re-sequenced into the landing pattern. “All the visitors that attended the swearing-in flew to Akure from where most were ferried to Ado-Ekiti by helicopter for the ceremony. The new governor didn’t attend the opening of the airport and upon being sworn in, he froze all the state accounts. For now, Fayemi only inaugurated it in his name; so another person doesn’t take the glory. It’s nowhere near completion at all,” the source had said.
