Public officers must always bear in mind the cliche that power is transient. They have limited time to make their modest contributions & bow out for others to continue. No one can annex public office as a personal chattel. That’s why I recoil from the razzmatazz of public office

Today in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, I had the privilege of engaging the leadership of Etihad Airways on the next chapter of Nigeria–UAE aviation relations.

Our discussions focused on the final steps towards the commencement of Etihad’s daily Abu Dhabi–Lagos service from March 18, 2027, and, importantly, on how we can build a broader strategic partnership around connectivity, investment, training, technology and cargo.

I also visited Etihad Aviation Training and Zayed International Airport to explore opportunities for capacity building and import other ideas from Abu Dhabi’s world-class aviation ecosystem.

I had no electoral deal or partnership with the ADC before, during, or after the governorship election.

The credit for our victory goes to God Almighty and the good people of Osun State for their overwhelming support and re-election.

For the sake of history, it is important to clarify that the ADC was never part of the rainbow coalition that canvassed, mobilised, and supported our campaign in the battle leading to last Saturday’s election.

I commend all our political partners who sacrificed, worked tirelessly, and went all out to make Saturday a victory day for all Osun people. Their commitment and support were instrumental to our success.

Now that the election is over, I remain the Governor of all Osun people, irrespective of political affiliation, religion, or tribe. My commitment is to unite our people and continue working for the progress and prosperity of Osun State.

Aviation Minister Requests IATA To Review Osubi Airport Location Code, Directs Stakeholders to Reflect Designation

The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN has formally requested the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to review the existing three-letter location code “QRW” assigned to Osubi Airport in Delta State, with a view to adopting a code that more accurately reflects the airport’s official name and geographical identity.

The request was conveyed in a letter signed by the Honourable Minister and addressed to the IATA Area Manager for West and Central Africa, Dr. Samuel Fatokun.

Osubi Airport, which bears the ICAO four-letter location indicator DNSU, is physically located in Osubi town, near Warri, Delta State. While the airport is sometimes informally identified as “Warri Airport” because it serves the Warri metropolitan area, the Federal Government has emphasised that its established and appropriate geographical designation is Osubi Airport.

According to the Minister, the continued use of the IATA code QRW, which is associated with the broader Warri identity, does not adequately reflect the airport's actual name and physical location.

The Federal Government is therefore asking IATA to initiate a formal review of the existing code and, subject to IATA’s applicable coding standards and the availability of suitable combinations, consider a three-letter code that bears a clearer relationship to the name Osubi.

Among the possible alternatives suggested for consideration are OSU, OSB, SUB and QSB, while acknowledging that the final designation remains subject to IATA's established coding procedures and availability.

The Minister said aligning the airport's IATA code more closely with its official name and physical location would strengthen the airport's identity, reduce potential ambiguity for passengers and other stakeholders, and promote consistency across aviation, travel, ticketing, baggage and related information systems.

In a related directive, the Minister has directed all airlines operating flights to and from the airport to ensure that appropriate flight tickets, luggage tags, boarding passes and other passenger-facing documentation reflect the airport's proper designation as Osubi, Delta State.

He has also directed the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and other relevant aviation agencies to ensure that the proper designation is consistently reflected and enforced across their respective systems, records, publications and operational interfaces.

The Minister stressed that the clarification is intended to ensure geographical and operational accuracy, rather than create confusion around the airport's role in serving the wider Warri metropolitan area.

He stated unequivocally:

“Osubi is not Warri and Warri is not Osubi.”

The Federal Government said it remains committed to ensuring that Nigeria's aviation infrastructure, locations and operational information are accurately represented in national and international aviation systems.

@fkeyamo My family voted for Adeleke, but for president, we’re voting Tinubu. None of the other candidates has what it takes to lead Nigeria. ✅
