UPDATE 🔥🔥: Gateway International Airport gets approval for Scheduled Commercial flights✈️✈️✈️ I can CONFIRM that the Gateway International Airport has been GRANTED Interim Aerodrome Operational Permit to operate Scheduled Commercial flights by the NCAA. {Check slides for videos of the airport) About the Gateway International Airport: —Conceived in 2019 and built from ground up by Governor Dapo Abiodun Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun, CON ✅ —First Approval of its kind in Nigeria. ✅ — Longest Runway in Nigeria and West Africa. ✅ —Strategic facility for both passenger and cargo operations, with a primary focus on agro-cargo. —Conceptualized as an aerotropolis; an integrated development that merges an airport with industrial parks, residential areas, and business districts. —The airport is projected to provide employment opportunities for around 25,000 unemployed youths in the state, according to Nairametrics. —The airport will now serve as the alternate airport to Murtala MUHAMMED International Airport. Before its construction, if any aircraft cannot land at MMIA, the flight is re-directed to Accra Airport. The gateway international airport ends that dilemma. ✅ —It aims to boost Ogun State and Nigeria's economic development by facilitating trade, investment, and job creation. The airport is designed to handle commercial, cargo, and passenger traffic, with the goal of decongesting other major airports like Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. Vision + Passion = Implementation. ✅ Thank you Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun, CON 🙏 God bless Ogun State. 🙏 God bless Nigeria. 🇳🇬 P.S: This approval marks the completion of the Phase III of the permit process and the beginning of the Phase IV, which is the full operational permit. The full Operational permit is expected to arrive in 6 months.

FLASH: Six additional train sets will be in Lagos very soon to strengthen the capacity of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue and Red Lines to deliver value to commuters and thereby increase the economic viability of the state. The six trains sets, which have scaled the factory acceptance test hurdle, are scheduled for shipment to Lagos from China. The addition of the train sets to the Blue Line rolling stock will increase the number of train trips along the corridor and will be deployed for passenger operation to Okokomaiko when phase two of the Blue Line is completed. It is projected that the construction of phase two from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko, about 14 kilometres in length, will be completed within the first quarter of 2027 and passenger operations extended to Okokomaiko shortly after. #LagosBlueLine #GreaterLagosRising Babajide Sanwo-Olu

Today, we approved the designs for the new passenger terminals at Al Maktoum International Airport, and commencing construction of the building at a cost of AED 128 billion as part of Dubai Aviation Corporation's strategy. Al Maktoum International Airport will enjoy the world's largest capacity, reaching up to 260 million passengers. It will be five times the size of the current Dubai International Airport, and all operations at Dubai International Airport will be transferred to it in the coming years. The airport will accommodate 400 aircraft gates and feature five parallel runways. New aviation technologies will be employed for the first time in the aviation sector. As we build an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow. It will host the world's leading companies in the logistics and air transport sectors. We are building a new project for future generations, ensuring continuous and stable development for our children and their children in turn. Dubai will be the world's airport, its port, its urban hub, and its new global center.
