Gateway Air Ready To Airlift Hajj Pilgrims — Abiodun

Image
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has expressed the readiness of Gateway Air, the state-owned airline, to airlift not only Ogun pilgrims to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Hajj, but also intending pilgrims from other South-West states. The Governor said that Ogun would explore opportunities to participate in the emerging private-sector-driven Hajj airlift arrangement, particularly for pilgrims from Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states. Abiodun disclosed this on Friday when he received a delegation of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), led by its Commissioner of Operations, Prince Anofiu Elegushi, at his office. The Governor said the state government had taken note of the new regulations governing private-sector participation in Hajj operations, while commending NAHCON for its support towards ensuring the successful and safe airlift of Ogun pilgrims from the Gateway International Airport to Saudi Arabia during the last Hajj exercise.

A Promise Fulfilled: Oluremi Tinubu's N10 Million Gift And The Power Of Purposeful Philanthropy

Image
By Kayode Akinmade Sometimes, the future of a nation does not arrive with the noise of a grand ceremony. It announces itself quietly—in a classroom, on a football field, inside a workshop, behind a computer screen or on the pages of a child’s sketchbook. And sometimes, all that future needs is for someone to notice. The tragedy is not always that talent is absent. More often, it is that talent exists but remains unseen, unsupported and eventually extinguished by circumstances. This is why the story of 12-year-old Ogun State artist, Master Morenikeji Ebunoluwa Joshua, deserves more than passing applause. It deserves to be told, celebrated and, more importantly, understood as a lesson in what purposeful philanthropy can achieve. On August 18, 2026, at the launch of the South-West Zonal National Food Bank Programme at the Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta, young Joshua displayed a portrait he had painstakingly painted of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. The painting caught...
