 Bola Tinubu int’l airport to resume flight operations April 23


The Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna, Niger state, will resume flight operations on April 23.

Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, announced the development in a post on X on Thursday.

“The Niger State Government in partnership with Overland Airways proudly announces the commencement of flight operations from the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, Minna, starting April 23rd, 2025,” Keyamo said.

On March 10, 2024, Umar Bago, governor of Niger state, renamed the Abubakar Imam international airport in Minna after Tinubu.

Aminu Takuma, the commissioner for industry, trade and investment, said the renaming of the airport was based on the support the state has received from the president so far.

In 2023, the federal government named 15 airports across the country after some prominent Nigerians, including former President Muhammadu Buhari and the late Tunde Idiagbon.

Joke Olatunji, director of airport operations of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), said the naming of the airports is part of government reforms of the aviation sector.

The airports in Maiduguri, Borno state, and Ibadan, Oyo state, were named after Buhari, and the late Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the premier of the defunct western region.

Also, the Minna airport was renamed after Abubakar Imam, a Nigerian writer and journalist from Niger, who pioneered the first Hausa-language newspaper in northern Nigeria.
