Dapo Abiodun Announces Gateway Deep Sea Port Construction
Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun announced that the construction of the Gateway Deep Sea Port and Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone, valued at over $7 billion, will begin in November. The construction phase will start immediately after the groundbreaking ceremony, with substantial completion expected within two and a half years.
Abiodun made this announcement while addressing All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Ijebu East and Ijebu North Local Government Areas, shortly after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with DP World MEA FZE in Paris, France, in the presence of President Bola Tinubu. The Gateway Deep Sea Port is being developed in partnership with DP World, aiming to enhance Ogun State’s maritime infrastructure and attract investment.
Abiodun emphasized that the project had been unrealized for over 30 years but is now part of his administration's strategy to strengthen the state’s economy and position Ogun as a major maritime destination in Africa.
