Ogun – Ogun State government says the Gateway Cargo Airport currently under construction at Ilisan Remo will be economically viable when it eventually becomes operational.

The new cargo airport is scheduled to launch its first flight by December this year, but fears are being expressed in some quarters, including the aviation sector over its economic viability.

Their fears is hinged on new airports springing up in many states across the country.

This is more so when many older airports belonging to both the federal and state governments are lying idle with little flights.

But the state government said the new cargo airport, apart from being a project with great future prospect is also going to be viable because of its location and the many facilities planned around it as an aerotropolis.

Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, who spoke on the project at the weekend, said its viability was not in doubt as the entire surroundings would be a hub for activities in all spheres.

” The airport is almost 80 per cent completed. A deal has been reached with African Development Bank (AfDB) to site an agro testing firm at Sagamu to service the airport,” the Commissioner said.

Akinsanya noted that the testing facility will ensure exportation of more agricultural products from Nigeria, adding that for now, because of lack of certification, some of these products cannot be exported to other countries.

In addition, most of the cargoes going into the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), from the hinterland, especially from some states in the Southwest will be diverted to the new cargo airport because of the difficulty in reaching Lagos due to traffic congestion, he added.

According to him, the cargo airport can be accessed through Abeokuta-Sagamu, Lagos-Ibadan, Lagos- Ore- Benin and Lagos-Epe roads, which makes its location unique.

The airport has been described as the first of its kind and the fastest to be built in Nigeria.

“It was conceived 10 years ago by the administration of Governor Gbenga Daniel. But, its actual construction was started by the Dapo Abiodun administration last year.

Apart from being centre for cargo, the airport will also run passenger flights with many airlines already indication interest.

The state government also expects the airport to further open up the Sagamu Interchange area as well as the stretch between the interchange to Lagos on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which is already opening up as an industrial hub, with the siting of many industries.
