He made this known while inspecting the ongoing asphalting of the dualised Odukpani-Calabar highway in the state on Sunday.

Recall that on May 6, the federal government imposed an additional four-week ban on flight operations across the country as a measure to check the spread of COVID-19.

Ayade opposed the continued closure of Nigeria’s domestic airspace, lamenting its negative impact on the aviation, hospitality and tourism sectors of the economy.
