The Kwara State Government is looking to partner with interested investors to establish an industry for the production of burnt red bricks, fibre asbestos for roofing and other associated building materials. The basic raw material for the production of burnt red bricks is clay which is found in large quantities in the local government areas of Osi, Okeero and Ilorin East.
The project will involve the designing, planning, construction, and operation of the facility. On-location surveys will also need to be carried out. Another important component of the project is the upliftment of local communities by involving them in the operation of the production unit.
Currently there is no functional industry in Kwara State for the production of burnt red bricks and other related building materials. Such materials are brought in from Ogun State for construction needs.
Reasons to Invest in Kwara State
Availability of affordable labour: Kwara State has an abundant supply of affordable skilled and unskilled labour.
Incentives: The Kwara State Government is willing to extend a number of incentives to serious investors. These include the provision of land and infrastructure, tax holidays and assistance with obtaining financing.
Market: Nigeria, with its population of close to 150 million provides a massive market for building materials. The country also enjoys favourable trade arrangements with the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) region.
Stable political climate: Since its return to civilian rule in 1999 Nigeria has made significant gains in establishing democracy. Besides a few localised problems in the Niger Delta area, the country is safe and secure to do business.
