The chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has described the Gateway Agro-Cargo International Airport as a game changer in the country’s aviation sector.
Mallam AbdulRazaq stated this in an interview with journalists after a courtesy visit to his Ogun State counterpart, Prince Dapo Abiodun, at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
The Kwara State Governor had earlier commissioned the 6km Siun-Owode Road in the Obafemi Owode Local Government area of the state.
According to him, when the new airport is finally commissioned, it would relieve the Muritala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos State of both passenger and cargo transportation and also help to decongest the airport.

He said: “The Iperu International Cargo Airport is also a game changer. It is my second or third time landing there, and I must say it is more of an economic airport. It will change the way things will be done in the future.
Mallam AbdulRazaq described the quality of work being done in the state by Governor Abiodun as impressive; adding that the quality of work done on the 6km Siun-Owode road would ensure it lasts for more years.
