Ogun Govt Fails To Meet Dec 2022 Deadline For The Commissioning Of Gateway Agro-Cargo Airport

Residents and citizens of Ogun State under the watch of Prince Dapo Abiodun as the Executive Governor of the state has raised their concern that; once again Ogun Government has failed his people.

As the year 2022 comes to an end just few days ago, there is an air of frustration and disappointment across Ogun state, particularly from Remoland, over the failure of the Ogun state government to meet the December 2022 deadline for the completion and commissioning of the Gateway Agro Cargo Airport project in Ilishan-Remo under Ikenne Local Government.

The project, which had been initially abandoned for 16 years, was revived by the administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun and is slated for completion and commissioning this December.

However, the joy and excitement that greeted the commencement of the airport project have all but dissipated due to the slow pace at which the government is handling it.

The Eaglesforesight gathered that although the Agro Cargo Airport has job creation, agriculture, and social welfare components that will benefit not only the elite but the grassroots
people.

Now the failed promises of opening it for businesses this just concluded 2022 December is destroying the buzz around it.

Residents of Remo who spoke with our newsroom urged Govenor Dapo Abiodun to attach a sense of urgency to the completion of the project, even as they admit that the Airport has several economic advantages for Remoland and Ogun state as a whole.

Recall that a ground-breaking ceremony for a special agro-industrial processing zone (SAPZ)
was held earlier in December 2022.

This is just as the people living in the Remo axis of the state believed the project would be com-
pleted and commissioned before the end of the year, as the government promised.

The Ogun Agro-cargo airport is strategically located within an Aerotropolis (Airport City) along the Ilishan-Iperu-Remo road of the busy Lagos-Ibadan express-way and the Sagamu-Benin expressway.

It shares proximity to critical industrial and agro-economic clusters within the state and its Southwestern neighbours.

On completion, the Gateway Agro Cargo Airport would attract business and investment and also take full advantage of the proximity of the state to Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital and provide answers to the logistic nightmares industry owners and importers go through as a result of the congestion of the two seaports, and International Airport both in Lagos.
