In his response, the Honourable Minister recalled Benin City’s history as a major aviation hub during the era of the defunct Okada Air and welcomed our deliberate efforts to revive the sector. According to information made available on the Governor’s official handle, the Minister assured him of the Federal Government’s full support towards the actualisation of Edo Air.
