President Tinubu has arrived in Niger State for the inauguration of a mechanized agricultural project. During his visit, he is scheduled to inaugurate the Minna International Airport, which has been renamed Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, Minna, by the state governor, Umar Bago.

This renaming ceremony holds significance as the airport, initially inaugurated by former military Head of State Ibrahim Babangida on June 20, 1990, has undergone significant remodeling under Bago's leadership. The renovation includes a fully furnished domestic terminal, marking a substantial improvement from its previous condition, where it was closed due to a runway issue.

In addition to the airport inauguration, President Tinubu will also oversee the launch of an agro-processing zone and agricultural equipment. The agro-processing zone project will utilize approximately 2,000 hectares of land, with 1,000 hectares allocated for drip irrigation and greenhouses, and the remaining 1,000 hectares designated for dairy product processing. This initiative reflects the state government's commitment to modernizing and enhancing the agricultural sector, thereby contributing to economic development and food security in the region.
