 Maximizing Socio-Economic Opportunities- Ekiti State Agro-Allied International Airport


The Ekiti State Agro-Allied International Airport has reached a significant milestone with the receipt of approval from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to commence non-scheduled operations. 

This development marks a crucial step towards the airport's full operationalization and presents numerous opportunities for economic growth and development.


Government's Role

To fully harness the airport's potential, the government must develop supporting infrastructure, such as roads leading to the airport.


 This will facilitate easy transportation of goods and people. Additionally, establishing trade agreements with other states and countries will increase export and import activities. 

Providing incentives, such as tax breaks and subsidies, will also encourage entrepreneurs and businesses to utilize the airport.


Residents' Responsibilities

Residents play a crucial role in supporting local businesses that emerge as a result of the airport's operations. 

Acquiring skills in demand in the aviation and logistics industries will also enable residents to take advantage of job opportunities.

 Furthermore, cooperating with authorities to maintain the airport's facilities and ensuring a clean and safe environment is essential.


Entrepreneurs' Opportunities.

The airport presents numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs. Exporting goods and products through the airport's cargo facilities can increase revenue. 

Investing in aviation-related businesses, such as logistics, hospitality, and transportation services, can also be lucrative.

 Developing tourism initiatives that showcase Ekiti State's cultural and natural attractions, utilizing the airport as a gateway, can further boost the local economy.


The Ekiti State Agro-Allied International Airport has the potential to transform the state's economy. 

With the NCAA's approval for non-scheduled operations, the airport is one step closer to full operationalization. 

By working together, government, residents, and entrepreneurs can unlock the full potential of this infrastructure and create a brighter economic future for Ekiti State.
