Ogun cargo airport will boost to nation’s economy – FG.



The Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun, has said that the Ogun State Agro-Cargo Airport, when completed, would add value to the lives of the people and contribute to the rapid growth of the state and the nation’s economy.

The minister, who stated this on Friday after being conducted around the airport by Governor Dapo Abiodun, described the airport as a major economic project of the Abiodun-led administration.

He said, “I have had the opportunity to be here before and I know that the ARISE Agro-Cargo Industrial and Export Processing Zone is a major economic achievement that speaks to the possibility of rapid growth of the economy, which is the objective of Mr President to have more investments like this.

“It is the type of investment that grows the economy, that creates jobs, that reduces poverty and it is good for the people of Ogun State in particular as well as Nigeria in general that new economic life is being breathed into the area.

“As for this particular facility, this airport which is reputed to have the longest runway in Nigeria, I can see the terminal building receiving finishing touches to make it a full-blown international passengers and cargo airport.”
