Description

The Sokoto State Government is inviting investors to invest in the production of ethanol.

With the high oil prices and the threat of global warming biofuels is in huge demand and any investor in this industry will not be short of an adequate market.

  • Guarantee of loans by state government
  • Tax concessions
  • Consultancy services and investment management advisory services
  • The Nigerian Federal Government is also offering a number of incentives for investment in biofuels.
