While intimating the former governor of operations, Gov. Emmanuel said “Our planes are only six years old and comparatively very new aircrafts. No other state government in Nigeria has ever attempted it, which is why I say that it is God’s grace.”
Gov. Emmanuel also seized the opportunity to invite Obong Attah to the commissioning ceremonies of the airlines at the Airport.
Speaking the former governor commended Gov. Emmanuel for continuing with the vision he had for the aviation industry in the state.
