Nigeria’s Gateway Airport Set to Launch First Route to Abuja

On October 7, 2025, Gateway International Airport in Iperu, Ogun State, will handle its first commercial flight, operated by Nigerian carrier ValueJet, the state government has announced.

"We look forward to connecting more Nigerians through this modern facility," ValueJet’s Managing Director, Capt. Omololu Majekodunmi, said.

The airport, which was opened on August 15, boasts a 4,000‑meter runway—one of the longest in West Africa—capable of accommodating wide‑body aircraft.
