Keyamo officially launched the construction of a new Kogi International Airport, a project aimed at boosting investment and economic activity in the state.

During the flag‑off ceremony, the aviation minister highlighted the airport’s potential to attract investors, noting that “infrastructure often precedes development rather than follows it.” The minister said the new facility would serve as a catalyst for regional growth.

The airport, located in central Nigeria’s Kogi State, is expected to improve connectivity for the region and create new business opportunities for local and foreign investors.

While details on the project’s timeline and funding remain limited, the initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance infrastructure and stimulate economic development in the area.

“Infrastructure often precedes development rather than follows it,” said the aviation minister.
