The Ogun Cargo Airport, which is adjudged as the fastest built cargo airport in Nigeria will participate at Chinet Aviacargo Conference where it will unveil the opportunities available to stakeholders. Recall that at Chinet 2021 the Commissioner of Finance for Ogun State, Mr. Dapo Okubadejo had promoted the airport as a great option for investors and the return to Chinet will be a great testimonial for Ogun State.
He promised that the airport will be built before the end of 2022. The promise has been fulfilled and the state returns to engage aviation professionals in order to exploit the inherent opportunities in the industry. Cargo is the fastest growing sector of the aviation industry, and the airport promises to tap into this huge market.
Other state cargo airports are expected to join in the second day discussion at the 2022 edition of the event. The future of cargo airports and their viability will be the focus of the second day at the Chinet 2022 event.
