As we commissioned the newly reconstructed Stadium–Luba–Tam Balogun Road in Ijebu-Ode, we reaffirmed our commitment to delivering transformational infrastructure and economic development across Ogun State.

We made it clear that our administration remains fully committed to the Ogun Deep Sea Port project, which is progressing steadily and will position our state as a major maritime and economic hub in Africa. We also disclosed that oil exploration activities have commenced in Ogun Waterside, bringing us closer to realizing our vision of making Ogun an oil-producing state.

We clarified that the relocation of the Dangote Refinery to Lagos occurred before we assumed office and reiterated that we did everything possible to retain the project in Ogun State. Our focus remains on attracting investments, creating opportunities, and ensuring sustainable economic growth for our people.

We are proud of the remarkable progress recorded across Ogun East, including the federal takeover of TASUED, the Dry Port project, ongoing oil exploration activities, the reconstruction of the Sagamu–Ijebu-Ode Expressway, and the completion of over 26 roads in Ijebu-Ode, with additional projects currently under construction.

Together, we will continue to build a prosperous, economically vibrant, and globally competitive Ogun State.

We are delighted to witness another historic milestone in the development of Ogun State as the first international flight successfully landed at the Gateway International Airport, Iperu.

The Flynas airline conveyed over 300 pilgrims from Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, directly to our state, marking the successful arrival of the 2026 Hajj return flight at the Gateway International Airport. This achievement further underscores our commitment to positioning Ogun State as a leading destination for aviation, commerce, investment, and economic growth.

We congratulate the returning pilgrims and thank all stakeholders whose dedication and support made this landmark feat possible. Together, we will continue to expand opportunities and strengthen Ogun State’s place on the global map.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU WELCOMES AIRBUS PROPOSAL FOR MAINTENANCE AND HANGAR FACILITIES IN NIGERIA, AND URGES ACCELERATED DELIVERY OF ATTACK HELICOPTERS

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has welcomed world aircraft-maker Airbus' proposal to establish maintenance and hangar facilities in Nigeria as part of a broader effort to position the country as a regional aerospace and aviation services hub.

President Tinubu also emphasised Nigeria’s urgent need for modern helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft capable of supporting security operations, logistics, and national development priorities, in furtherance of his administration's effort to end the intractable security challenges in some parts of the nation.

The President spoke on Thursday, during a meeting with a delegation from Airbus, led by Head of Regional Business Growth Africa and the Middle East, Thierry Cloutet, on the sidelines of the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda.

He told the delegation that his administration was determined to scale up the cordial relationship between both parties, leveraging the company's comparative advantage in military aircraft and aerospace development.

The President called for the accelerated delivery of the three Apache helicopters already ordered by Nigeria to support ongoing security and counterterrorism operations, underscoring his administration's determination to deploy all assets against terrorists across the nation.

“Nigeria needs attack helicopters urgently that can be used to confront and overwhelm terrorists. That is my priority now," President Tinubu said.

Nigeria's acquisition of the Airbus C-295 platform, broader defence aviation cooperation, as well as aircraft leasing and financing models, including export credit arrangements, sale-and-lease-back structures, and long-term aircraft financing solutions aimed at improving airlines' access to aircraft and reducing sector financing constraints, were also discussed.

In furtherance of strengthening the existing relationship between the company and Nigeria, President Tinubu also discussed with the Airbus delegation the possibility of establishing an aviation leasing company to unlock value along Nigeria’s aviation value chain and improve financing access for domestic operators.

Cloutet commended President Tinubu's economic reforms and the efforts to stabilise Nigeria’s aviation sector. He reaffirmed the company’s interest in supporting the country’s long-term aerospace development objectives.

In support of the administration's policy to modernise the nation's Aviation sector, Cloutet proposed what he described as a “360-degree engagement” model with Nigeria.

The engagement, according to Cloutet, will cover commercial aviation, military aircraft cooperation, human capital development, sustainability initiatives, operational hubs and maintenance infrastructure.

It will also include collaboration on satellite and Earth observation.

We appreciate his time and continued commitment to the service of our nation, and we remain encouraged by the shared values of dedication and professionalism that strengthen our institutions.

We have reaffirmed our commitment to returning missionary schools in Ogun State to their original owners as part of our broader effort to strengthen partnerships in the education and health sectors.

We made this known while receiving the Apostolic Nuncio to Nigeria, Archbishop Michael Francis Crotty, alongside Catholic bishops and church leaders, where we emphasized that government cannot drive development alone. We recognize the vital role faith-based institutions continue to play in promoting education, healthcare, peace, and social stability, and we remain open to deeper collaboration with the Church.

We also take pride in the religious harmony that defines our state and appreciate the continued support and prayers of the faithful, which have contributed to our administration’s successes. We are encouraged by the Church’s willingness to work with us in advancing human development and remain committed to building a more inclusive and progressive Ogun State.

We joined our brother governor, Goverrnor Douye Diri, and other distinguished leaders in Bayelsa State as President @officialABAT, GCFR, commissioned key infrastructure projects, including a 60-megawatt gas-powered turbine and major road networks across the state.

We commend Governor Douye Diri for his purposeful leadership and commitment to development, which continue to deliver tangible benefits to the people of Bayelsa State. These projects underscore the critical role of infrastructure, particularly power and road connectivity, in driving industrial growth, economic expansion, and improved livelihoods.

We also align with Mr. President’s position on the need for stronger collaboration between the federal and state governments to accelerate national development. Together, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that will strengthen our economy, enhance security, and build a more prosperous Nigeria for all.
