Makinde disputes Wike’s claim over Ibadan airport funding
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has rejected a claim by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike that the Federal Government provided N50bn for the upgrade of Ibadan airport. Makinde’s statement challenges the account of how the airport project was financed, but the supplied material gives no further details about the competing claims.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has disputed a claim by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike that the Federal Government provided N50bn for the upgrade of Ibadan airport. Makinde rejected the assertion, according to Punch Nigeria. His response directly challenges Wike’s description of federal financial support for the project.
The supplied report does not provide details of the airport’s total upgrade cost, the source of funds identified by Makinde, or the circumstances in which Wike made the claim. It also does not include a response from Wike or further evidence from either side. The disagreement therefore centres on whether the Federal Government contributed N50bn to the airport upgrade.
Makinde’s position, as reported, is that the claim is incorrect. No additional information about the project’s progress or financing arrangement is available in the supplied material.
