By Adefolarin A. Olamilekan

For Nasarawa state to minimize and benefits from it centralized posture among states that made up the North-Central geopolitical zone. To overcome the effects of unstable national economic shock from international oil prices and reduces dependence on FAAC.

The state under the current Governor A.A Sule has the opportunity to leverage on infrastructural development to unlock Nasarawa state’s economic.

This is a key investment drive that most state government in Nigeria hardly takes advantage off, but the few over the year’s that dear to take on this challenge have left legacy that generations and generations rave about them. .

Although, it almost a 100% capital intensive, the Nasarawa state government gearing towards developing infrastructure is to encourage accessibility of the state to all viable investors local and foreign, as well as for an industrial hub.

Critically, stakeholders and investors had raised concerns about the level of infrastructural development in the Nasarawa state, over the years. Nonetheless, we commend the current drive of Governor A.A Sule, especially as it relates to wooing investors to the State through its economic blueprint agenda.

However, this is not enough, and we believe Governor A.A Sule understands this clearly having had a very successful business set and requisite.

Nasarawa state with proven reserves of over 20 different solid mineral resources, arable land so good for agriculture, having one of the best climate weather conditions that is gracious and been the gate way to far northern part and outpost to southern Nigeria decently.

One attributes of the state is it closeness to the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, the Nigeria capital. This alone made should make the state an enviable stratagem to fast track infrastructural development in the state.

And its does not matter were this infrastructure development is concentrated, the end point is that the entire state remains a corridor to every other part of the country. Consequently far for industrializations

While the challenges are daunting, the need for infrastructure development provides an opportunity to harness the state’s solid minerals and other natural potential.

For example with the Akurba Power Substation Lafia, Nasarawa State Cargo Airport, Kwandere, Farin Ruwa Dam, flag-off of the construction of hundred of  kilometers of road network scattered all over the state there are hopes attract business interest to the state.

A case in point is Akurba Power Substation in Lafia with optimism that power generates there would increasingly serve as deployment feedstock to industries and help power the state.

In addition, the infrastructure development project is expected to support the development of Dangote sugar in Tunga, Fertilizer Company in Lafia and other part of the state, Agro-processing companies all around Keffi and Karu, and the mining site companies in Nasarawa LGA, and other Agro-industries that will generate employment opportunities and facilitate balanced economic growth in the state.

Will Governor A.A Sule of Nasarawa and his team take up this task of infrastructural development project in the aid to the realization of the state development agenda goals? This piece is clarion call, though Governor A.A Sule his working drastically to reduced the level of infrastructure deficits in the state. Our case is for his administration, to do better as leveraging on infrastructure development remains at the peak of unlocking the economy of the state less barrier.
