Our Assessment

Inaugurated as a flagship project in November 2024 (6 months into the second term), the $40 million Eruwa Agribusiness Industrial Hub aims to transform a 3,250-hectare dormant farm settlement into a modern facility with crop/livestock production centers, 15-20 processing plants, training centers, mechanization leasing, seed production, and an eco-resort, potentially creating thousands of jobs, positioning Ibarapa on the global agricultural map, and replicating the Fasola Hub's success for rural economic revival.​​

The groundbreaking occurred on November 21, 2024, with the first phase awarded to Craneburg Construction Company for an 18-month duration (target completion May 2026). As of March 2026, the project remains in early construction stages, 15 months after inauguration and well beyond the 18-month promise from May 2023 inauguration.

The 18-month completion deadline lapsed without full operationalization, classifying this as broken despite ongoing work.
