Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun: “We witnessed a historic milestone as the maiden flight departed from our very own Gateway International Airport, Iperu-Ilishan, to Abuja. This marks the official commencement of commercial flight operations from Ogun State — a long-held dream that has now become a reality.

“We take immense pride in this achievement, not just as a government, but as a people united by vision, perseverance, and faith in the greatness of our dear state. The Gateway International Airport stands as a symbol of progress, possibilities, and prosperity — built to global standards and designed to serve generations to come.

“This moment reaffirms our commitment to creating infrastructure that supports business growth, enhances mobility, and positions Ogun as Nigeria’s new frontier for industrial and economic development.

“We appreciate ValueJet for this pioneering partnership and the good people of Ogun State for their unwavering support. Together, we are truly Building Our Future Together.”
