The local airport in Edo State, known as ‘Benin Airport’ is to be renamed ‘Oba Erediauwa Airport.
This was sequel to a motion moved on the floor of the Senate today by the Senator representing Edo South, Mathew Urhoghide and seconded by Senator Jeremiah Oseni representing Plateau South.
Senator Urhoghide took his time to read the biography and achievements of the late Oba, stressing that, he was also instrumental to the creation of Edo State from the then Bendel State.
Urhoghide believed that, “late Oba Erediauwa’s memory is worth immortalizing when his achievements, numerous selfless services and contributions to Nigeria’s development of this outstanding Monarch which are worthy of emulation and commendation are taken into consideration.
The Senate, therefore, resolved to immortalize the late Monarch, by renaming the federal airport to ‘Oba Erediauwa Airport,’ Benin city.
