Ogun state set to become Nigeria’s transportation hub, says Governor Abiodun
The Ogun State Government has reaffirmed its determination to transform the state into Nigeria’s foremost regional transportation hub through strategic infrastructural investments.
Penpushing reports that Governor Dapo Abiodun made this known during the Town Hall Meeting on the preparation of the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the 2026 Budget for the Remo Division, held at the Remo Royal Event Centre, Akarigbo Palace, Ita-Oba, Sagamu.
The Governor represented by the Commissioner for Finance and Chief Economic Adviser, Mr. Dapo Okubadejo, pointed out that the administration has demonstrated a bold and strategic commitment to infrastructural development.
Penpushing further reports that he added that his administration had shown strong resolve by committing 130 hectares of land to the construction of the proposed Inland Dry Port, strategically positioned to connect the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the Kajola Dry Port.
The Governor stated that this initiative aligns with the state’s landmark Gateway International Airport project, which recently commenced commercial operations, a feat he described as a “significant milestone” that would accelerate economic growth, generate employment opportunities, and position Ogun as a regional aviation and transportation hub.
“These projects will open new frontiers for seamless travel, enhance connectivity, and boost economic activities across the state and beyond. Abiodun emphasized.
Penpushing also reports that he equally highlighted remarkable achievements recorded in other sectors, including road infrastructure, healthcare, housing, and education.
The Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Mr. Olaolu Olabimtan, in his remarks noted that the forum reinforces the government’s belief that citizens are the bedrock of governance and development.
Penpushing reports that Olabimtan emphasized that the meeting serves as a crucial avenue for inclusive engagement, transparency, and accountability, aimed at delivering quality service and measurable impact across Ogun State.
The Commissioner encouraged residents of the Senatorial District to actively contribute their ideas and suggestions to the budget process, assuring that such inputs will guide government decisions and ensure that development reaches every community at the grassroots level.
Penpushing further reports that Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remo land, Oba Babatunde Ajayi in his remarks commended the Ogun State Government for its numerous developmental strides across the Division and the State at large.
The traditional ruler expressed profound appreciation to Governor Abiodun for his visionary leadership and people-oriented policies that continues to transform lives and communities.
Penpushing also reports that he noted that the people of Remo are particularly proud of the Governor’s remarkable achievements, especially the successful completion of the Gateway International Airport project that has positioned Ogun State as a hub for economic growth and investment opportunities.
