A socio-political group, under the aegis of Ekiti Patriotic Consultative Forum, has filed for an order of Mandamus before the Ekiti State High Court to compel the State government to release to it all documents, including financial records and loans, relating to the Ekiti International Cargo Airport project.
Lead counsel to the group, Oluwagbenga Babawibe, also the secretary to the forum, made this known in a statement, including court processes, made available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday.
Recall that on 15 October 2022, about a day before his exit from office, the then-outgoing governor, Kayode Fayemi, whose administration initiated the project, commissioned the airport. At the time, the facility was yet to commence operation due to the absence of navigational and some other equipment.
