The Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has said his government is committed to the development of a new airport in Auchi, Edo North Senatorial District of the State after it got tentative approval from the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Briefing journalists in Auchi, at the weekend, Obaseki<\/a> noted that the government is working with aviation experts to finalise the survey of the airport project.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe charting of the airport is already ongoing to ensure the safety measures required for approval of the airport project as safety is the main consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure that the approaches for landing on the airport runway are clear and safe for landing and will not endanger the aircraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the final reports and studies that are being conducted and as soon as we get final approval, we will break ground and commence construction of the Auchi Airport,\u201d the governor reassured.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThis is not a political project. Between Benin City and Abuja on this axis, which is more than 600 km, there is no airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the transportation standpoint, it makes a lot of commercial sense to have an airport in Edo North. More importantly, there are emerging businesses, particularly in the areas of mining and academia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two cement companies producing over 6 million tonnes of cement in this axis. There are a lot of activities to support an airport in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
