Overview

Nasarawa SAPZ – Gudi Agro-Industrial Park

The Nasarawa Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone (SAPZ) is a planned agro-industrial park at Gudi, Nasarawa State, estimated to cost about US$115 million. It is promoted by the Nasarawa State Government through NASIDA, the Nasarawa State Investment and Development Agency. It forms part of Governor Abdullahi A. Sule’s strategy to diversify the economy beyond mining. The project draws on the State’s fertile agricultural belt and its proximity to Abuja.

The project will have an Agro-Industrial Hub for processing, storage and value addition, linked to Agricultural Transformation Centres that handle production and aggregation. The priority value chains are rice, sugar, dairy and horticulture.

A feasibility study has been completed. It covers:

value-chain and market demand analysis;
site suitability;
infrastructure gaps and links to the feedstock catchment;
a conceptual master plan, designs and cost estimates.

Why Investing

Strategic Location & Expansion Potential

Gudi SAPZ is positioned along Nigeria’s North–South transport corridor, with access to major highways, planned rail infrastructure, a cargo airport and an existing 132kV grid line, alongside 6,890 hectares of planned industrial development.

Strong Agricultural Demand & Industrial Opportunity

Targets national supply gaps of approximately 4 million tonnes of maize and 3 million tonnes of rice, supported by an established agricultural industry and growing demand for industrial land.

Institutional Support & Investment Potential

Benefits from the AfDB-supported SAPZ programme, free-zone tax incentives and a state PPP framework. The project offers first-mover potential with a modelled 17.6% equity return, subject to an updated business case and securing concessional financing.
