The model has already been successfully de-risked by the Fasola Agribusiness Industrial Hub, which: Attracted over ₦11 billion in private investment within its first few years. Hosted 12 operational agribusinesses and created a thriving local economy. The Ijaiye project leverages the same institutional framework (OYSADA) and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) structure that has already demonstrated high investor confidence.
