The Chinese-built Ekiti Airport in Nigeria’s southwestern Ekiti State has been green-lighted for use, having been officially commissioned on Saturday.
The airport, built by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), received its first aircraft just ahead of the official launch, a Nigeria Air Force plane which flew in from the federal capital, Abuja.
The facility now places Ekiti in the same status as other Nigerian states that have functional airports.
The facility prior to its launch has received a series of commentaries as to what necessitated the construction.
