The team expressed satisfaction with the airport's infrastructure after inspecting the runway, terminal building and control tower.

The Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Lawal Barau Bungudu, led the delegation on a tour of the facility alongside other government officials.

The NCAA team said the quality of construction and compliance with aviation standards reflect the state's commitment to delivering a safe and modern airport.

The inspection marks the final technical stage before commissioning, with the airport expected to boost economic activities and improve connectivity in the state.
