On Friday, President Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) approved the Federal Government’s “takeover” of Gombe State Airport.

Yahaya stated that the measure will secure the facility’s availability of finances for the duration of its existence.
He also noted that the political developments in Gombe formed part of the issues discussed with the President.
