Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun yesterday said his administration was ready to strengthen its collaboration with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), to enhance security and aviation growth in the state.
He said this during a meeting with the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, at the NAF Headquarters in Abuja, to discuss areas of mutual interest, particularly Gateway International Airport.
During the meeting, Governor Abiodun reiterated the state’s commitment to positioning the Gateway International Airport as a major hub for trade, investment and logistics.
He emphasised the crucial role of the Nigerian Air Force in ensuring the security and operational efficiency of the airport.
A key highlight of the discussion was the establishment of an Air Force base at the airport, a move expected to enhance safety, boost economic activities and attract more investors.
The governor expressed appreciation to Air Marshal Abubakar for his proactiveness, responsiveness and positive disposition toward this request.
He noted that the state government remained committed to fostering strategic partnerships with key security agencies, to ensure the safety and prosperity of its people.
The proposed Air Force base, he said, would be a major step in strengthening the state’s security architecture and reinforcing its status as an economic powerhouse.
