The Managing Director of the Nasarawa State Investment Development Agency (NASIDA), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has said the Nasarawa Technology Village is a testament to the power of collaboration between the public and private sectors in driving sustainable development.
He said the project exemplifies the transformative impact of strategic partnerships.
The technology village is spearheaded by NASIDA.
While noting that infrastructure development plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic landscape of nations, Abdullahi said it was in recognition of this that NASIDA embarked on a mission to engage the private sector in driving the state’s development agenda.

The Nasarawa Technology Village project, situated along the Abuja-Keffi Road corridor, was conceived as a catalyst for economic growth and job creation.
Through a competitive bidding process facilitated by NASIDA, the ABS Blueprint Modern Shelter Consortium emerged as the preferred partner for a real estate development, spanning 67 hectares in Aso Prada, Karu Local Government.
Despite initial challenges, including securing financing and navigating regulatory processes, he said NASIDA, alongside its partners, demonstrated unwavering commitment and resilience.
NASIDA said it’s dedicated to leveraging strategic partnerships and innovative solutions to address critical infrastructure needs and drive sustainable development in Nasarawa State.
