Ogun State Agro-Cargo Airport Receives License For Non-Scheduled Flights

The Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in Ogun State has been licensed to operate non-scheduled flights.

This announcement was made by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, highlighting several achievements of his administration.

Abiodun also disclosed that approval for scheduled flights at the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport is imminent and expected soon.

The Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport is now licensed for non-scheduled flights, with scheduled flight approval expected soon. The Kajola Dry Port construction will also start soon, the post reads.

Given the State’s proximity to Lagos, the governor also hinted that the construction of the Kajola Dry Port will commence shortly.

The proposed dry port, located on flat land proximate to the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) narrow and standard gauge rail lines, was earlier approved by the Federal Government for development by the Ogun State Government.

The Kajola port is expected to complement the agro-cargo airport in receiving goods from the Tincan and Apapa Ports.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) approved the Gateway International Agro-Cargo Airport in 2008. However, actual construction began in 2021 under Governor Abiodun’s administration.
