 Today, I am super proud of being a citizen of Ogun State, and for that matter, a proud son of Ikenne and the Ikenne local government. So it is with great pride and joy that I join you here today to witness an incredibly momentous event. The maiden test flight of the recently constructed Gatesway Agro International Airport of Ogun State, Nigeria. As we descended from our own aircraft, a chopper, to land a few moments ago, we were able to see the runway from up there, a state-of-the-art four-kilometer facility, and as we have heard able to take a Boeing 777 and a Boeing 747 aircraft and an A380 aircraft, a runway doesn't get any better than this. If we say that it's the best in Ogun State, of course, that is not true, it is not just the best in Nigeria, it is a world-class airport that we are here to see. With what we all see here this afternoon, Ogun State is definitely taking a huge step in fulfilling the dreams of our forebears, the dreams of Chief Obafemi Aolo Papa, and the dreams of others who worked with him, the dreams of a vibrant, modern, and industrious community living together in peace and prosperity. A dream of Ogun State that is the engine room, the engine of our nation's economy and our nation's commerce and business. But we must pause here to commend the first visioner of this airport, Osunba Gwenda Daniel, who, as we have heard, as governor, conceived of this airport and went as far as getting an approval for it from the federal government. But it is a tribute to the wisdom and understanding of our current government. Prince Dapo, Abiyonu MFR, that he took it from the idea, re-envisioned it completely, and in the light of opportunities, needs, and the requirements and realities of today, he birthed the Gateway International Agro-Poggle Airport of Ogun State. This project is the fulfillment of a vision, but the airport is only the infrastructure for building a dynamic economic area. We are now poised to provide facilities for a world-class economic zone. But what a day, what a day this is. All of us are witnesses to the first fully-functional Agro-Poggle Airport in our country. We are witnesses to the landing of the first commercial airport at this airport, and we saw the crew live. And the commercial jet itself is one of the fleet of aircraft, a value jet, owned by Mr. Kule Shonami, a son of Ramon, and in particular Ikenne and Ikenne local government. But we must also mention the fact that the man responsible for actually building this airport, the Honorable Commissioner for Works, Mr. Akisai, is also a son of Ikenne and Ikenne local government. The governor said to me, pointing to him, that it's the hard work and commitment of that man that builds this airport. But the future is even more exciting than today. This airport will serve the special agricultural processing zones, which have been established with the generous assistance of the Afghan Development Bank. It is also an essential tool in our preparation for full participation as serious players in the Africa continental free trade agreements. In a few months, the Kajala dry port will also be operational. And I'm confident that this airport will transform the entire southwest region and serve as a catalyst for economic growth and the development of our nation and sub-region. I therefore congratulate the serious-minded, business-minded forward-thinking, performance-oriented governor of Open State, Prince Dacoab Yodun, and his remarkable team, and of course the people of Open State on these remarkable feet. I'm immensely proud of what has been achieved here. This is how we build a modern, prosperous future for all Nigerians. And I have no doubt that the culture of innovation and progress that the Gateway Agro International Airport has already brought will continue to motivate the people of Open State and even more. I invite you to join me in a celebration of these amazing achievements. Congratulations to Mr. Governor and his team and all of those who have made this possible. Thank you all very much. God bless Open State and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Thank you very much.
