Kwara Project

The project

is the brainchild of the Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency Governor Bukola Saraki who took the initiative in inviting a group of displaced Zimbabwean farmers to come and visit Kwara in 2004 to assess the potential for commercial agriculture development. This bold step was met with great enthusiasm by a number of parties and has since led to the development of a pilot scheme involving fifteen farmers who have now moved to Kwara State from Zimbabwe. The scheme has already attracted international investment from outside Africa.
