Cargo operations are set to commence at the Gateway International Airport within the next 30 to 45 days, as the first cargo aircraft from Europe is expected to land at the facility.

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, made this known during an on-the-spot assessment of work at the Industrial Platform, Remo Free Trade Zone, located along the Sagamu–Ijebu-Ode Expressway on Thursday.

The Industrial Platform, Remo, is the Special Agro-Processing Zone project situated between Iperu and Ilishan. Conceived towards the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative is designed to drive agro-industrial development and position Ogun State as a leading processing and export hub.

Abiodun disclosed that the access road linking the Sagamu–Benin Expressway directly to the airport will soon be opened to the public, describing it as a critical piece of infrastructure aligned with global best practices.
