ABEOKUTA – The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has commended the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on the progress and quality of work carried out in the Ogun Agro Cargo Airport project.

According to Akinsanya, who represented Gov.

The Commissioner said that completion of the project was geared towards fulfilling Prince Dapo Abiodun’s promise to complete all projects embarked upon by his administration and deliver the dividends of democracy to improve individual prosperity.

Meanwhile, Engr.

“We want to ensure that the road is properly compacted before the rainy season. Right now, the contractors are working steadily on filling the road and back filling the bridge portion and with this progress, a lot would be achieved”, he assured.
