In a bid to further develop Kwara State's tourism industry, the state government is inviting local and foreign investors to invest in a mixed-use development at Asa Dam.
Investment Opportunity
Asa Dam is situated just outside the state capital Ilorin. An area of 250 hectares has been identified for the project - 200 ha on the east bank and 50 ha on the west bank.
Planned facilities for the development include:
Benefits of Investing in Kwara State
Labour: Kwara State is home to the well-respected University of Ilorin and construction of the new Kwara State University will soon be completed. Kwara State therefore has a large number of graduates who can be employed by companies investing in the state.
Market: Kwara State is close to Nigeria's capital Abuja and its commercial hub Lagos. The Ilorin International Airport has recently been renovated and a trip from Lagos or Abuja is a mere 50 minute journey via air.
Power supply: Due to the recent completion of the Ganmo sub-station, Ilorin currently enjoys very close to 24 hours a day of uninterrupted power supply. Many business owners are delighted by the fact that they have to make very little use of generators.
