The Zamfara State Government has commenced the installation of internet facilities at the Gusau International Airport ahead of the planned take-off of commercial flight operations on October 1.
The state’s Information Technology Development Agency (ZITDA) said the deployment would provide reliable internet connectivity across key operational areas of the airport.
The Executive Secretary of ZITDA, Dr Habib Gajam, said an assessment of the airport had been completed ahead of the immediate deployment of the facilities.
He said connectivity would cover the domestic and international departure and arrival terminals, protocol and VIP lounges, control tower, fire station and other critical operational areas.
Passengers using the airport will also have access to free internet services as part of efforts to provide a more connected travel experience.
Gajam said the airport project was part of the Zamfara Government’s wider digital infrastructure expansion programme aimed at supporting modern public services and improving connectivity across the state.
He said the first phase of the programme had already provided internet infrastructure at the Government House, JB Yakubu Secretariat Complex, State House of Assembly Complex, State High Court Complex, Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, College of Nursing Sciences, Gusau, and the Zamfara Internal Revenue Service.
According to him, the government is also working to ensure that the digital infrastructure required to support airport operations is in place as Zamfara prepares to receive commercial flights.
The ZITDA chief said the initiative aligns with Governor Dauda Lawal’s vision of making Zamfara a more digitally enabled and connected state.
Commercial flight operations at Gusau International Airport are scheduled to begin on October 1, 2026.
