President Bola Tinubu has given his nod to the renaming of some federal airports after several prominent Nigerians.

The renaming was done in the twilight of Buhari’s administration.

The renaming of the airports was announced in a memo released by the Federal Ministry of Aviation dated June 1, 2023, and signed by Mrs Joke Olatunji for the Director of Airport Operations on Monday.

The statement noted that the President renamed the airports “as part of reforms of the Aviation sector.”
