Let’s start with a bold truth:
Africa is not behind; it has simply been building without a blueprint.
In a continent blessed with over 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, over 300 days of sunlight a year, and a youth population set to double by 2050, it should be unthinkable that more than 280 million Africans go to bed hungry every night.
And yet hunger, housing deficits, unemployment, and rural decline persist. Why? For too long, our systems have been reactive instead of visionary.
But what if we could design a future where:
- Land is not just owned, but also productive?
- Youth are not just job-seekers, but job creators?
- Cities are not overcrowded, but sustainably planned?
- Agriculture is not subsistence, but profitable, innovative, and smart.
That future is no longer a dream; it’s Ilu Aseyori.
What is Ilu Aseyori?
Ilu Aseyori, which means City of Prosperity in English, is Africa’s largest Agro smart city located in Ewekoro, Ogun State. Designed as a blueprint for the future of agro-industrial innovation, blending vast, flourishing oil palm plantations with vibrant, eco-conscious residential districts, cutting-edge agro-processing centers, and smart technologies that fuel a self-sustaining, thriving ecosystem built to nourish people, economies, and the planet.
Think of it as a purpose-built ecosystem, masterfully designed to solve some of Africa’s biggest problems through:
- Smart agriculture
- Agro-processing
- Affordable housing
- Commercial enterprise
- Long-term land value appreciation
Why Now? Why Ilu Aseyori?
Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment. The challenges are clear, but so are the opportunities.
Let’s look at the numbers:
- Food Import Bill: In 2024, Nigeria’s food import expenditure surged to $4.7 billion, marking a significant increase from previous years.
- Youth Unemployment: The youth unemployment rate has improved to 6.5% in Q2 2024, down from 8.4% in Q1 2024. However, projections indicate it may rise to 7% by the end of 2025.
- Housing Deficit: Nigeria faces a housing deficit of approximately 28 million units, with an annual requirement of 550,000 new homes to address the shortfall.
- Post-Harvest Losses: Approximately 40% of Nigeria’s agricultural produce is lost annually due to inadequate infrastructure and processing facilities, translating to over N3.5 trillion in losses.
- Uncultivated Land: Despite these challenges, over 60% of Nigeria’s arable land remains uncultivated, presenting vast untapped potential.
Ilu Aseyori is not just a development; it’s a transformative initiative designed to tackle these challenges:
- Sustainable Agriculture: By establishing one of Africa’s largest sustainable oil palm plantations, we aim to reduce food imports and create a reliable source of income.
- Job Creation: The project will generate thousands of employment opportunities, particularly for the youth, contributing to economic growth and stability.
- Affordable Housing: With the housing deficit in mind, Ilu Aseyori integrates eco-friendly, smart homes, providing affordable and sustainable living options.
- Infrastructure Development: The Agro-processing hubs and value chains will minimize post-harvest losses, ensuring that produce reaches the market efficiently.
- Land Utilization: By cultivating over 35% of Nigeria’s uncultivated land, we will drive agricultural productivity and economic prosperity.
