- Conference centre
- Signature golf course with residential units
- Shopping mall
- Holiday resort
- Amusement park
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 that 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.
