Makinde said the state government had been committed to the expansion and development of the Ibadan airport, as a contiguous facility to Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos till a decision is taken to categorise it as a concessional airport. The state has been investing in the modernization of the airport from time to time, such as in the construction of 500,000 liters aviation fuel storage and dispensing facility, among others. The state government is also working on improving the access to the airport such as building access roads, revamping taxi services, building bus terminals, and a host of other things.
