The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has disclosed that plans are in top gear by the Federal Government to name the state owned Agro Cargo International Airport as the "Export Terminal for Non-Oil in the Country"

Prince Dapo Abiodun who made this known during the 5th coronation and 60th birthday reception of the chairman, Ogun State Council of Oba's and the Akarigbo of Remoland,Oba Babatunde Ajayi held at the palace of the monarch in Sagamu, also noted that a dry Port is  on the verge of been located at Kajola.

Abiodun while noting that the dry Port which would be an inland container terminal, would enable business concerns in the state ship cargo directly from foreign countries to Kajola, citing that the development which is in collaboration with the Lagos State Government would also help to de-congest roads leading to Lagos ports.

The state Governor who further disclosed that his administration is also working to have a logistics hub in Wasimi, said that the hub would enable exporters stock their containers and at the same time ship to their destinations.

 "Only yesterday, I was advised by the federal government that based on their understanding of what we are doing in Remoland, the Federal Government has decided to name our airport that we haven't even commissioned as the "Export Terminal for Non-Oil in the Country".

"Kajola is also a free trade zone that was established by the Otunba Gbenga Daniel regime, it is where we currently have the wagon Assembly for the rail line that goes from Lagos to Ibadan, we have brushed it up again, looked at it, we are locating a dry Port in Kajola.

" A dry Port is an inland container terminal, so that Ogun businesses do not have to ship cargo from foreign countries to Apapa anymore, they will ship and say FOB: Kajola, because of the joint development cooperation we have with the Lagos State Government, we are jointly pursuing how to de-congest roads leading to Lagos ports and this one of the solutions that we've profered to achieve that.

" We are doing something not far from Kajola in Wasimi as well, it is what we call the 'Logistics Hub', from where exporters will now be able to stock their containers, once their containers is stocked in Wasimi and locked there, the next thing is to go on the ship,and by so doing, their will be an increase in our ranking on the ease of doing business index, so companies will now not be complaining that containers come, spend weeks in the port," he said.
