President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to embark on an official visit to Ogun State tomorrow, where he will commission and inspect a wide range of landmark projects, highlighting the state’s push for infrastructural development, economic growth, and enhanced public services.
The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, stated that the President’s visit will showcase strategic investments across key sectors.
Central to the visit is the commissioning of the Gateway International Airport in Iperu, a project aimed at establishing Ogun State as a major aviation and logistics hub.
During the visit, President Tinubu will also commission two new aircraft under Gateway Air, marking the operational launch of the state’s aviation initiative in partnership with ValueJet.
The President will witness a cargo operations demonstration facilitated by SAHCOL, highlighting the airport’s readiness for large-scale logistics and freight activities. Other key assets to be commissioned at the airport include 1,000 electric bikes for the state’s EV mobility initiative, 80 security vehicles to strengthen safety infrastructure, and a fleet of agricultural tractors to boost food production and support farmers.

In addition to the airport, President Tinubu will commission the Ilishan–Iperu Airport Road, enhancing connectivity to the aviation hub. He will also inspect the Nigeria Customs Service Village and commission the Forward Operating Base (FOB) building, reinforcing border security and trade facilitation.
The visit will further feature the inspection and commissioning of the Gateway Aviation Village, a complementary development designed to support the state’s growing aviation ecosystem.
In a symbolic and strategic move, President Tinubu will commission the reconstructed “Old Ibadan Road” (Sapade–Ilishan Road), which will be officially named the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Expressway—an arterial route expected to significantly boost connectivity and commerce within the region.
Rounding off the visit is the inspection of the Sagamu–Benin Concrete Road, a major federal infrastructure project aimed at improving transportation efficiency along one of Nigeria’s busiest corridors.
Collectively, these projects reflect the vision of the Ogun State Government under Dapo Abiodun to build a modern, economically vibrant, and well-connected state. The President’s visit not only marks the unveiling of these transformative initiatives but also reinforces the synergy between federal and state governments in driving sustainable development.
