President Bola Tinubu pledged to convert Jos' Yakubu Gowon Airport into a cargo airport and rebuild communities affected by insecurity at the All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Jos on Saturday, Nov. 14, BusinessDay reported.
Tinubu linked the airport conversion to increased economic activity in the North-Central region, according to the report. BusinessDay separately said the project could create opportunities for trade and logistics in Plateau State and the wider region.
On security, BusinessDay said Tinubu directed agencies to restore and sustain peace across Plateau. The report also said he assured residents that the 2027 general election would be peaceful.
Plateau Gov. Caleb Mutfwang said residents had decided to support Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid. He cited federal work in roads, education and health care, and praised student support through the Nigerian Education Loan Scheme, BusinessDay reported.
The Jos rally followed the APC's Oct. 24 event in Kaduna, where the State House said 32 APC governors attended, as described in our earlier coverage of the Kaduna rally.
