Welcome to Makurdi

Arriving through MDI puts you in Makurdi, where a joint military-civil airfield near Benue River history, markets, agricultural landscapes, and strict security boundaries. Skip the beige layover mentality: pay attention, behave like a guest, and leave room for the destination to dismantle whatever tidy plan survived baggage claim.
