The Iperu Indigenes Forum extends heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency, Prince Dapo ABIODUN, CON, Governor of Ogun State, and the entire Iperu Akesanland community on the recent certification of Gateway International Airport, Iperu, by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

In a statement jointly signed by the Convener, Prince Ladi OLABINJO; Administrators, High Chief Barr. Ifasola Saheed OPEODU, the Oluwo of Iperu, and Otunba Adebayo SALAMI; as well as Media Officer, Temitope OYEKAN, the Forum lauded the Governor, an illustrious son of Iperu Akesanland, for this milestone achievement. 

The certification places Iperu and Ogun State prominently on the global map, promising to transform the socio-economic landscape of Iperu and its neighbouring communities.

The Forum prays for divine wisdom and strength for Governor ABIODUN to continue advancing his Building Our Future Together agenda, guided by the ISEYA mantra.

While celebrating the imminent commencement of scheduled commercial flights at Gateway International Airport, Iperu, the Forum urges the Governor to prioritize the construction of more intra-city roads to enhance local transportation and accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic due to airport operations, and ensure a stable and uninterrupted power supply.

The Forum also commends the Governor’s commitment to infrastructure development, especially the road linking the airport with the Sagamu/Benin Expressway; reconstruction of the Siun-Ajura-Ogere-Iperu-Ilisan Road, which has commenced at the Iperu-Ilisan section; and the proposed Metro Rail Line (Purple Line) that will connect Mowe to Iperu.

The Forum further applauds the Governor’s efforts in establishing the Special Agro Processing Zone (Industrial Remo Platform Free Zone),  highlighted by the upcoming groundbreaking ceremony for the largest garment factory in the region, scheduled for September 2025.

“Your Excellency, please accept our warmest felicitations on this remarkable achievements and our commendation for the progress made in transforming Iperu and Ogun State into a hub of industrial and economic excellence,” the statement concluded.
