The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to name the Akure airport after a former governor of Ondo State, the late Olusegun Agagu.
The call was made in a motion jointly sponsored by members of the House from Ondo, which the House adopted at the plenary on Thursday.
Agagu was Ondo governor between May 2003 and February 2009 when a court nullified his re-election for a second term. He died on September 13, 2013.
The motion titled, ‘Need to Name Akure Airport After Olusegun Agagu,’ was sponsored by Messrs Mayowa Akinfolarinwa, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Adejoro Adeogun, Oluwatimehin Adelegbe, Peter Makinde, Gboluga Ikengboju, Tajudeen Adefisoye, Omolafe Adedayo, and Kolade Akinjo.
