The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has urged investors to invest more in the agency, citing the agency’s strategic position, well-structured transportation networks, access to Africa’s largest consumer market, and avalanche incentives offered by the Abuja Technology Village.
During an inspection of the Project site in Lugbe, Abuja, Mr. Olusade Adesola, the Permanent Secretary, revealed this, while adding that the fundamental infrastructure building operations had already evolved to an advanced degree.
He explained that the agency, which is strategically located next to the Nelson Mandela Institution’s African University of Science and Technology and close to other Science and Technology Institutions, provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a massive economic cluster connecting Abuja City Centre and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
He went on to clarify that the agency was established by the FCT Administration in order to diversify the economy and give significant work opportunities for young people.
Adesola also reassured investors that the administration is committed to getting the project up and running as quickly as possible, claiming that it will be one of the administration’s most significant achievements.
Hajiya Hauwa Yabani, the Managing Director of the Abuja Technology Village, who led the Permanent Secretary and other senior management staff of the FCT Administration on a tour of the project site earlier, listed ICT, Agriculture, Energy, Minerals Technology, and other business opportunities available to investors in the Abuja Technology Village.
