The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, said the vision behind the construction of the Gateway Agro-cargo International Airport was to expand the industrial base and open up the state as an agro-processing hub in the West African sub-African.
In his remarks, the Chairman, Access Corporation, Herbert Wigwe, said his company was the first to key into the vision of the governor’s desire to build a world-class airport in the state.
“I happened to be at the bankers’ committee at a particular point in time where we were thinking of how to resolve some the challenges we are facing in Nigeria as far as export is concerned and apart from the seaport, this airport was designated as one of those airports that will be used to solve the problem of export in Nigeria.
On his part, the Chief Executive Officer, ExecutiveJet, Siza Madiba, said his company was interested in developing an aircraft maintenance organisation to support commercial aircraft that are in need of support. “The money could be spent in Nigeria where we have a facility, where employment is created, training is created and expertise is done, one of the expertise areas has to do with the supply chain in aircraft parts.
