‘I will convert Plateau airport into cargo airport to boost exports’ - Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has promised to upgrade an airport in Plateau State into a cargo airport to facilitate the direct export of agricultural produce, including potatoes and tomatoes.

Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Plateau State, Tinubu said the proposed project would help strengthen the state's economy and create more opportunities for farmers.

“Caleb Mutang and I will work together to convert your airport into a cargo airport,” he said.

He added that the facility would enable farmers to export their produce directly to international markets.

“From that, you'll be able to ship vegetables and potatoes abroad. Direct. The economy will improve,” Tinubu stated.

The President also urged residents to participate peacefully in the electoral process, describing their Voter IDs as tools for securing prosperity and development.

“That's your weapon to prosperity. That's your roadmap. Use it effectively. Use it to vote APC,” he told supporters.

“We will upgrade your airport to cargo airport so that you will be exporting potatoes and tomatoes to abroad directly & that way, you will have quality education & improved security.” –Tinubu
