## Description

Yams, vegetables and other perishable harvests from Niger State are the freight Minna airport hopes to fly out: since its 2024 renaming as Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport, the facility has been positioned as an agricultural cargo gateway toward Brazil and Saudi Arabia. Its 3,400-metre runway already accommodates heavy wide-bodies up to the Boeing 747 and Antonov freighters, so the physical groundwork exists. For now, however, scheduled services are dominated by Overland Airways on domestic routes, and regular freighter operations remain announced rather than operational. International air cargo from the region is therefore still routed through Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, roughly 150 km to the south-east, where the Nigeria Customs Service clears shipments. Forwarders eyeing Nigerian agri-exports should track Minna's planned cargo build-out closely.
