The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika on Thursday performed the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hadejia Airport in Jigawa State.
Sirika said at the event that when completed, it will be used to transport agricultural products from Jigawa and other neighbouring states to different parts of the country and beyond.
“Today we are performing the groundbreaking ceremony to re-establish air transportation in this very historic city town of Hadejia,” he said.
He congratulated the Governor of Jigawa State, Mohammed Abubakar, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Adamu Fanini, for achieving this huge investment.
He also emphasised the importance of aviation infrastructure, stating that it can help boost the economy and create jobs.
The minister further urged the people of Hadejia to take advantage of the airport to export their agricultural products, including fish and fura.
“Insecurity has taken a new dimension, a new shape in the country and one way that it is greatly fought is by aviation infrastructure.
“This is something very dear to the government of Muhammadu Buhari and to the nation and we are committed to it.”

Editor’s Note
In our post on February 19, 2023, in a story ‘Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan’, we reported that a middle-aged woman, simply known as Mama Dada, set herself ablaze over her inability to pay back a loan of N70,000 she reportedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since discovered that the microfinance bank referred to in the story was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologise to the LAPO Group for the error in the identification of the name of the said microfinance bank where the deceased took the loan. The mix-up in the name of the MFB is not deliberate.
