this land will be good for cattle rearing, that's why the indigenes were sent packing.

Waste of money.

It is cheaper for multinational companies to transport through rail than air.

Who is his economy advice?

Some of these Nigerian governors don't have sense oh. Who moves oil palm by air? Only highly perishable goods like fresh meat or fresh vegetables is worth moving by air. If you ain't exporting any fresh products, then voila, another white elephant project.

Airport projects are now the new way to siphon money for personal use

Who send this one make him go build airport,na wa for ogun state o,yews people de bene as refuge ,no single good road for ota . Make God help us.

Stupidity is when you think development is having an airport in your state/city/town but failing to realise that economic and infrastructural development coupled with good security are the factors that will people to your state/country

What's the point of having an airport which will be hardly used. Just another white elephant project

The stupidity of our governments really baffles me!! What is Ogun state doing with cargo airport when it’s just next door to Lagos. Instead he should be thinking of strategies to maximize the rail line such that cargoes are moved from Apapa port to Abeokuta axis by rail and then cleared there to decongest Apapa port. From Abeokuta they can then be further transported to South West as necessary.

Same thing almost every state in SE and SS is building airport. Bayelsa, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia are all building airports when we already have airports in Uyo, Calabar, PH, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba.

You see, due to their stupidity, they think the airport will turn their state to an international hub. Why will anyone visit a city or state that has nothing to offer him/her?

Even in a developed country like the US there are so many unused international airports because people hardly visit the destination

OTA, Agbara and Igbesa has the Largest Industrial HUB not only in Ogun state but in the west ,At Igbesa you will find Free Trade Zone ,These Area Generate the largest revenue for Ogun state ,Moreso that is the Area the Airport is justifiably needed owing to the large Industries ,But Governor Dapo Abiodun wouldn't find a need to move to that Area to Build Good Roads and Establish the Airport their as an Ijebu man ,He would rather prefer to Selfishly move it to this area .God dey .

children of 8, perdition and frustration are angry that this is going to have huge economic impact on the economy of the south west because their red earth erosion ridden hellhole can't accommodate a road talk less of an airport, considering the closeness of ogun state to lagos and ibadan this would increase productivity in the region considering lagos, ogun and oyo are already connected via rail and would also go a long way to reducing the pressure on lagos airports. Dapo hasn't done well in terms of security but this project is highly commendable and other states and DAWN commission should key into this.

GOD BLESS THE YORUBAS.
GOD BLESS YORUBALAND.
AND LET THE CHILDREN OF HATE JUMP IN THE LAGOON, GOD PUNISH THEIR FATHERS

Dapo Abiodun A name synonymous with promises, everything about him na "we will"

He's d most useless governor in South West now follow closely by fayemi and seyi makinde

what nairaland resident economists and sit tight politicians fail to understand is the fact that in 2019 lagos airport handled 180 million kilogram worth of cargo......this is virtually 95% of all air cargo in nigeria putting pressure on the lagos airport. this cargo airport has the potential to reduce the burden on ogun state and provide actual jobs for the people of ogun state.

Mtchew. Says a man that cannot fill the potholes around OPIC.
Nigerian politicians are so mean and insensitive. Baba the project at rounda when will it be delivered.
Sango ota- Info road is it not part of Ogun.
What are you guys even exporting to warrant the airport? In 2021 people still burn wood openly to get charcoal.

Just do your time and transit to a senator, the latest trend for you guys.

Welcome development. Kudos.

Who is his economy advicer?

The governor is the owner of Heyden. A successful oil company in Nigeria.

If he doesn't have a good economy advicer, how was his company able to be successful?

blackboy2star:
Dapo, your days are numbered... Governance is continuum but you left all your predecessor project to rot away... Continue oo

His predecessor abandoned this project.

If I hear say any governor is trying to grab 'the most useless governor in Nigeria' award away from Dapo Abiodun, I will have to sue such governor. Darudapo is a dignified failure in a world of his own.

Ogun state doesn't need to depend on Lagos state for Cargo airport. Abi, will the money generated by Lagos state enter Ogun state purse?

Ogun state is not Bayelsa, Anambra, Ebony, Abia, etc. Take note.

The airport commissioned by Buhari was a federal government project. This is a state government project. I know you are envious of it.

Nice Job

You are low Ogunquit is three states below Anambra in GDP, Anam bra and Abia are home of indigenous industries and commerce in Nigeria, Ogun is benefiting from Lagos leftover just on industrial sector

Cargo airport for skulls exportation and Cutlass importation... AFonja amaka

Which indigenous industries? Is it the same Abia state I lived for almost a decade? Apart from some small small indigenous companies in nnewi, nothing special about Anambra.

Some of those industries are owned by Ogun state indigenes. Now, most are moving back to Ogun state.

That's not all I'm saying . Apart from having nothing to offer the money spent on building the airport could be spent on better projects which will enhance the stature of the state and attract foreign investors

Do you mean Ogun state has nothing to offer? Answer that question first.

Perhaps, you are not aware of the over 50 roads construction going on or about to kick start recently.
