The Federal Government of Nigeria has set aside over N15 billion for the expansion of the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport terminal in Katsina State. Senator Hadi Sirika, Minister of Aviation, made the announcement at the airport’s groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday.

According to Sirika, the terminal would generate approximately 1,500 new jobs, increase trade, and open up new opportunities in the state.

The Aviation Minister, who also stated that the project would be completed within the next 12 months, stated that all of the necessary facilities, with the exception of the building, are already in place.

Sirika responded to journalists’ inquiries shortly after the groundbreaking ceremony, saying:

“More than 70% of the project’s required funding has been made available.”

“The overall rehabilitation centre and fire truck maintenance cost about N14 billion.”

“All of the necessary facilities have been acquired and are in place.” We’re only waiting for the building to be finished before we mount them.

“We anticipate that the terminal building will be completed within a year.”The cargo centre costs roughly N1.4 billion, however there is a minor adjustment request.

“That will be completed within the next six months.”The pavement will be completed in six months and will cost approximately N1.3 billion.”

Katsina Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, was also present at the groundbreaking event and spoke.

Dr Bashir Gambo Saulawa, the state Commissioner for Land and Survey, commended President Muhammadu Buhari and the Aviation Minister for delivering this development to the state.

Masari stated that the airport blueprint, which has been deemed one of the best in history, will live on in the hearts of the people of the state.

While noting that the project was allocated two sites, Governor Masari’s spokesman stated that individuals displaced as a result had been compensated and resettled.

According to Saulawa, the state government has so far paid N230 million in compensation to beneficiaries who own the 110 hectares of land that the project partially occupies as part of its efforts to see the project through.
