OGUN CARGO AIRPORT: OUR DECISION IS OBJECTIVE AND BASED ON OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENDA - ABIODUN

The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has said the decision to embark on the construction of the cargo airport in Ilishan-Remo is an objective decision taken based on the economic development agenda of his Administration to have a cargo airport that fully complements agro value chain investments in the State.

Prince Dapo Abiodun, who made this known during an on-the-spot assessment of work done on the 2.3km access road to the cargo airport in the State, said that the proposal for the cargo airport which was conceived in 2007, had all necessary environmental impact assessment and other regulatory assessments.

 

 

“This was not a decision that was taken for any other reason except that which is objective. Our thinking was based on our economic development agenda which is to have a cargo airport that fully complements agro value chain investments in the State.

 

 

 

“This project has since been conceived in 2007. All necessary approvals were gotten in 2008, and all environmental impact assessment as well as other regulatory requirements have been met 100%. All we had to do was brush them up to ensure that they met with current realities,” he said.

 

 

Governor Abiodun, while noting that his Administration opted to go with the cargo airport proposal from 2007 because it would help his Administration co-locate the Special agro-processing zone in the area, added that because of the zone, his Administration has renamed the cargo airport city an heteropolis, because it would afford the State factories where raw materials can be turned into final products for export.

 

 

 

The state helmsman, who added that the cargo airport would be complemented with the first international testing centre where goods would be evaluated for export, said the commencement of a cargo airport in the area would help the siting of the testing centre in the area.

“More importantly, we bidded for the African Development Bank, AfDB’s special agro-processing zone and in that bid document, we chose this location to co-locate the special agro-processing zone here. Because of that, we have now renamed this place an heteropolis, meaning a complete airport city, because it has the airport and the special agro-processing zone. We will also have factories here that will turn them from raw materials into finished products ready for export.

“The AFROEXIM Bank has begun the construction of the first African International Testing Centre here in Sagamu; that is, a centre where items for export would be evaluated and approved for export, so a cargo airport here is just very convenient and economically wise,” he said.

Abiodun, while noting that the project which had already begun before the Senate Committee on Aviation came to the State, affirmed that the first phase of the cargo airport would be completed by May, 2022.

“This project had begun way before the Aviation Committee came here. It was not the other way round. In line with our economic development agenda, we had an airport as part of our key enablers, and we have begun the airport. As a matter of fact, in line with our plans, this first phase of the airport will be completed by May, 2022. The work was already in progress and the coming of the Senate Committee was incidental,” he said.

……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”

 

The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.

The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.

 

Testimonies of God’s Power

One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.

 

Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.

 

These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.

 

God Works by Principle, Not Gossip

 

In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.

 

The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.

 

Join the Movement

Grace Nation Worldwide is open for all who desire a life transformed by divine intervention. Weekly services include:

Sunday Service: 7:00 AM

Grace Nation Island Service (Ogombo): Wednesday, 5:00 PM

Midweek PHDS Service: Thursday, 7:00 AM

 

Attending these services under the ministry of the Generational Prophet ensures encounters with God’s supernatural power, life-changing miracles, and lasting breakthroughs.

Grace Nation Worldwide is not just a church—it is a reality where faith meets the supernatural.
