No. S.12\/19\/1\/Vol.VI\/188 dated 21, November 2024 on the above subject and to respectfully request Your Excellency to suspend the foundation laying ceremony of the Osun State International Airport until the issues regarding the petitions over the existing airstrip\/airport are resolved and to harmonise the state\u2019s efforts with that of the Federal Government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter also points out that the airstrip is a federal project included in the ministry\u2019s 2024 budget and the state\u2019s plan to expand it to an international airport must align with federal objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The statement added, \u201cYour Excellency may wish to note that the airstrip is a federal project that is captured in the Ministry\u2019s 2024 Appropriation. We also note that you have made arrangements to expand the airstrip to an international airport. In addition, there is a petition indicating there is an existing airstrip where funds have been expended and the need to use the site for the present airstrip instead of a new site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter emphasised the need for efficient use of public funds, stating, \u201cThe Federal Government is mandated to ensure judicious use of funds in order to curtail wastage of resources. As this Airstrip Project is a collaboration between the State and Federal Governments, it is important we are in synch before the project takes off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ministry urged the governor to postpone the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Merinole stated, \u201cAccordingly, Your Excellency is respectfully requested to reschedule the foundation laying ceremony of the Osun State Airport pending the resolution of the petitions and selection of a mutually agreed date.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ademola Adeleke had planned the event for December 13 but the ministry has asked for a postponement until disputes surrounding the project are resolved The Federal Government has pulled out of the foundation-laying ceremony for the proposed Osun State airport in Ede, following a request from the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo.
