Lagos govt mulls airline, Lekki Airport in bold move

The Lagos State government might soon soar into the aviation industry, as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu revealed plans for a state-owned airline and a brand new airport in Lekki.

During the Lagos West Senatorial District town hall meeting on Thursday, Sanwo-Olu confirmed that the airline proposal had been in the works for months, with the state currently finalizing the financing model.

This ambitious announcement, delivered through a statement by Chief Press Secretary Gboyega Akosile, marks a significant potential step in Lagos’s development trajectory. Establishing an airline would grant the state greater control over its air travel landscape, potentially benefiting both passengers and businesses.
