Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, reveals reason for renaming the Abubakar Imam International Airport after President Bola Tinubu.
The Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago, has enlightened people on his reason for renaming the Abubakar Imam International Airport after President Bola Tinubu.
According to him the renaming was driven by the desire to ensure a square peg is placed in a square hole, noting that naming the State Polytechnic Zungeru, after the late literary icon, Abubakar Imam was more appropriate. He added that the president approved the decision.
In a last-minute decision, the Niger State Governor changed the name of the airport which was named after Imam in June last year to Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, following its commissioning on Monday.
Bologi Ibrahim the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, disclosed this on Tuesday in a statement quoting Bago as announcing the development while granting a live interview.
