Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni said Yobe International Cargo Airport will be ready next month.
The governor said he had been assured by the contractors handling the project that it would be handed over to the state government by the end of April.
He said the government would subsequently inaugurate it in May 2020.
Buni made the announcement after an inspection visit to the airport site which is under construction.
Earlier, the state Commissioner of Transport and Energy, Abdullahi Kukuwa, while conducting the governor round the airport, said the runway of the airport had reached 70 percent completion and that the tarmac, terminal building, air traffic control tower, and other key facilities were all in advanced stages of completion.
