The Yobe Government has approved N11.32 billion for the construction of an international cargo airport in Damaturu, according to an official.
Alhaji Mohammed Lamin, the State Commissioner for Education, said on Wednesday at a media briefing that the State Executive Council had approved the funds for the project.
Lamin said the cargo airport would facilitate transportation of goods into and out of the state.
“This will contribute immensely to the growth of the state economy and improve the revenue base of the state.”
