ABEOKUTA, NIGERIA, 3 April 2026 (NPA) — Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has announced that all is set for the unveiling of the state‑owned airline as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to the state on Saturday, when he will commission landmark projects executed by the administration.

According to the governor of the southwestern Nigeria state, the aviation vision for Ogun State goes beyond the commissioning of the Gateway International Airport. “During his official visit on Saturday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will also unveil Gateway Air, our new state airline,” Abiodun said.

The Ogun State Airline will commence operations with two newly acquired aircraft to be managed by ValueJet, alongside the cargo facility at the Gateway International Airport. The governor explained that the airline and airport projects represent another bold step in positioning Ogun State as a key destination for aviation, logistics, and investment, while also creating new opportunities for trade, tourism, and employment.

Abiodun emphasised that the initiative reflects his administration’s determination to transform Ogun into a hub of modern infrastructure and economic growth, aligning with the broader vision of the Renewed Hope Agenda at the national level.
