Dickson said the state had completed a terminal building for local flights while the other when completed would serve international flights. His words: “The airport is one of best in the country. It has latest equipment in the aviation industry. It will bring the world to the Ijaw nation and open up Bayelsa State for rapid development.
He said it was the ex-governor who conceived the project while he served the state as chief executive.
