Dapo Abiodun, the governor of Ogun, says passenger operations will commence at the Ogun agro-cargo airport in 2024.
In his New Year broadcast to Ogun residents, the governor assured the people that the state would witness unprecedented infrastructure development in the new year.
Abiodun said his administration would redouble efforts toward meeting the needs of the people and pledged to do it with unwavering dedication and inclusiveness.
“In 2023, we faced numerous challenges but together we were resolute, focused and we emerged united and stronger. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to you, the good citizens and residents of the state,” he said.
“We have prioritized the provision of the required infrastructure, particularly in the transportation sector. We have constructed or rehabilitated over 500 kilometres of roads across the state, ensuring improved transportation and connectivity.
“Our commitment to equitable development is evident, as these works are spread across our 20 Local Government Areas in the state. We have also embarked on our multi-modal transport master plan, encompassing land, air, water, and rail modes of transportation.
“The Gateway Agro-Cargo airport project initiated a little over two years ago is set to commence passenger and cargo operations in the first quarter of 2024. This world-class airport and economic enabler will provide over 25,000 job opportunities.”
