Kogi SAPZ
About Kogi SAPZ
The mandate, planning basis, governance logic and commercial structure of the programme.
Mandate
Build an integrated, commercially disciplined agro-industrial platform for Kogi State.
The platform links production catchments to aggregation, primary processing, industrial conversion, shared infrastructure, quality systems, logistics and markets. The project is organised around repeatable operating cash flows, measurable service performance and structured private participation.
The current basis combines the SAPZ physical model-Agro-Industrial Hubs and Agricultural Transformation Centres-with a free-zone-enabled investment approach at Ajaokuta, subject to controlling legislation, approvals and investor-specific tax and regulatory advice.
Strategic frame
Six programme goals organise the delivery agenda.
The goals translate food-system industrialisation, export growth, infrastructure, employment, governance and revenue mobilisation into an investment-facing programme.
Expand value-added exports
Build quality, traceability, cold-chain and trade-logistics capability.
Deliver enabling infrastructure
Provide metered power, water, roads, waste systems and common services.
Create jobs and supplier depth
Develop operators, technical skills, SMEs and service markets.
Protect operations and investors
Maintain land, security, safeguards, permitting and dispute controls.
Capture sustainable platform value
Use leases, utilities, logistics and services rather than discretionary transfers.
Operating governance
Control is separated into strategic, commercial and operational layers.
Strategy, risk and investment approvals
Sets programme direction, protects the public interest and governs major commercial and capital decisions.
Commercial control of land, assets and revenue
Holds the operating rights, contracts tenants, collects service revenue and maintains the platform.
Day-to-day estate and investor service
Runs onboarding, utilities, facilities, security, ESG controls, data, billing and performance management.
