CONGRATULATIONS KEYAMO ON YOUR NEAPS AWARD, BUT AM NOT IMPRESSED
-By Zik Gbemre
We congratulate Festus Keyamo on the award for excellence in aviation sector reforms bestowed on him by President Tinubu in the Nigerian Excellence Awards In Public Service (NEAPS) held on Sunday, December 7, 2025 at State house, Abuja.
The award was presented by Secretary To The Government of the Federation, George Akume on behalf of President Tinubu.
Why we don't envy Keyamo on the award, the question remains if really Keyamo merits the award why has he not expanded the Osubi Airstrip Runway that he boasted of expanding since he became a Minister of Aviation & Aerospace Development?
Osubi Runway expansion and upgrade are over due. It is sad passengers from Okpe, Uvwie, Udu, Ughelli South, Ughelli North, Ethiope East, Warri South,Warri South West, Burutu,Bomadi,Patani,Isoko South now drive to Asaba and Benin to board flights to Abuja and Lagos.
Minister Keyamo, what is the problem? Why is Osubi Airstrip Runway expansion not considered? Keyamo, do whatever you can to upgrade and expand the Osubi Airstrip Runway to enable big aircrafts land and take off.
Osubi Airstrip is by your hometown of Ephron (Effurun).
