Nigeria federalizes Yobe airport; Tinubu seeks N100bn reimbursement approval

President Tinubu has requested Senate approval to reimburse the Yobe state government N100 billion via promissory note for the federal takeover of the state's airport. This marks a shift in airport ownership from state to federal control, with fiscal implications for Nigeria's public finances. The move is part of broader infrastructure consolidation but its economic impact is limited.
