“Akure and its environs are very fortunate to have this airport; they should patronize it and not allow it to die because it will bring growth and development to them.

“They should not fight but work to maintain it; for if it blossoms, it will attract industries, job opportunities and open up everywhere within its neighbourhood to the outside world.

“Everything will just shoot up; therefore, they should tap into its abundant opportunities,” she said.

The airport’s manager noted that the service of the airline plying Akure to Abuja route and vice versa had improved in recent times to three times per week.
