Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, says the efforts of his administration to upgrade the Ibadan Airport to international standard have remained on course.
He added that his government considers the Airport as key and central to its vision to expand the state’s economy, stating that the government would continue to partner with critical individuals to bring about the success of the venture.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the governor, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi, stated these at the weekend, during the retirement ceremony held in honour of Ogenetega Aiyenuro, the outgoing Airport Manager.
Ogunwuyi, who on behalf of the governor, described Mrs. Aiyenuro as a friend of Oyo State, lauded her for everything she has done for the facility and the state.
He assured the gathering that the state would continue to partner with the retiring director.
He said: “God has given her the grace and she has also used ‘omoluabi’ to engage and become part of us in Ibadan.
“We still want you to work for us all because you still have a very long way to go. So, I want to say we will continue to partner with you even going forward. You are a friend of the state, our sister and a mother. By the grace of God, I believe we will still do better things together even after you have left service.”
The governor presented the retiring Airport Manager with a Toyota Hilux.
Speaking earlier, a Director with the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria Sunday Ayodele, commended Mrs. Aiyenuro for keying into the vision of Governor Makinde’s administration to expand the economy of the state.
